Quote:I don't think college athletes should get paid by the schools either. Their "payment" for playing at that school is their scholarship. I just believe that the NCAA shouldn't regulate how someone earns money off the field as long as it isn't breaking any real laws.

 

They should have to follow a code of conduct at that's it. If someone wants to give a kid money for an autograph, advertisement, etc .....the NCAA should have no say in that at all.
 

If they want to work a part time job for a few hours a week, I'd be fine with that, granted it is within NCAA rules. However, using football as an example again, it's awfully hard to balance out time between practice/weight lifting, film, school, and work.
