Quote:Intercollegiate athletics isn't a job. If you want to be paid for your services, turn pro.

 

But you cannot turn pro without playing NCAA football.   The NCAA is the feeder system for the NFL.   The NCAA cannot be bypassed for the NFL.  

 

Jimbo Fisher earns millions of dollars a year.   He got a huge raise because he had Jameis Winston this year.  Without Jameis Winston, Jimbo Fisher might not even have a job right now.    But Jameis Winston earns room and board and tuition while Jimbo Fisher makes millions of dollars a year.    If I was Jameis Winston, I'd be saying, "Coach Fisher got a million dollar pay raise because I threw a touchdown pass at the end of the national championship game.  Where's my share?"
