Now the question is whether these players should also receive scholarships or be forced to pay tuition all or in part.

Also, does this mean college sports will now fall under the purview of the legal and financial reporting requirements of professional sports?

Great question, but since the school is not paying the player they are off the hook and the player should be responsible. Another issue is a booster from a school could pay enough that a player would play for the school without a scholarship. That could be used to bypass current scholarship limits placed on schools?

Worse, what if the boosters spend all their funds on sponsoring/hiring players, and stop donating to the schools? There go the other schollies, stadium renovations, etc.

If one is subject to public disclosure (by the recipient university) and one not, I could see a number of boosters shifting where their dollars go.
