I think the reality is the true “student-athlete” model is dead as we knew it. I think they will do fine in their classes, but if everyone can move around without any restriction the idea of them being fellow students is less potent than it once was.
Many years ago when I was a student, there was a guy in Ehrman Hall (Unit 2 dorm) who got a business license from Berkeley and sold M&M's out of his dorm room. He did quite well. I bought several 1 lb bags myself... I consider that a kind of profitable student activity... obviously not what Bob means but getting scratched is getting scratched to some extent...
