FILE - Creighton takes a timeout during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, in Omaha, Neb.

The hope by members of the Football Championship Subdivision and Division I-AAA (programs without football) is to give their athletes more of a say and essentially treat them more like students than employees.(Corey Perrine/Omaha World-Herald via AP, File)
