I guess that happens in dog fighting. So that is one.
Name a league where minor league athletes get paid 7 figures and it's not because it's tied to future player rights.

The school brands provide the value. How many fans make a point to go watch a particular player in minor league baseball or the G-League or the Arena league?

College sports are just unlike any other league. There really ought to be a specific federal law addressing college sports and what the leagues/schools are able to agree to and what they have to compete on.

ETA: And if schools are allowed to keep compensation around what minor league athletes make (which is roughly where they were with scholarship, room and board), coaches shouldn't make more than minor league coaches either.
