they get health benefits for sure
Health benefits are separate from tuition hence not in the scholarship but all sports related injuries are paid by the school.
Some athletes get stipends to play.

Scholarship athletes are employees. The school is paying you. Make no doubt about it
And the school is making money off of many of its "student-athletes," while the students are forbidden to make the money themselves. It's mostly an issue in big revenue sports like football and basketball, where schools make a ton of money off of students' playing, licensing apparel, etc. Those players take on the risk of injury, and sometimes the amount of time required of them impinges on their ability to get a meaningful education. A lot of exploitation was permitted because we all pretended that they were amateurs.
An inventor who works for a company doesn't have rights to her own invention patents either. All work product of an employee done while employed belongs to the employer. So officially making them employees doesn't help much in that regard.
they already have NIL rights. The thing that this really changes is that they can collectively bargain and they'll be entitled to benefits like Workmans comp

Nobody is making money off of college soccer players. This is officially the most ridiculous thread on the soccer forum.

Where have you been? This changed. Athletes can now make money from NLI.

It’s not difficult to look at the starting QB at an Alabama or a Notre Dame, see how the school is profiting off of the player, and draw the conclusion that the athlete is an employee. But, what about the backup Libero on Mary Baldwin University’s Volleyball team? If that is considered employment, does Mary Baldwin continue to field a volleyball team? If, eventually, those athletes are deemed employees under the FLSA, doesn’t that kill off 99% of college athletics?
