Quote:I say just pay them...get it over with...then say goodbye to all those other sports that cost money...say goodbye to all the scholarships for things like soccer, tennis, (for some schools) baseball, ect...pretty much all sports outside of football and for some basketball.

 

so for all the idiots saying this will help the student athletes...it will end up hurting way more...because you are either stupid or naive to think that this will not end up happening...no school is going to start taking losses because it has to pay the players of a few sports and encur all of the costs of less earning sports.

 

Yep. The greed of a few ends up hurting the vast majority in the end. smh...

 

Quote:I'm curious how "the rest of America" is getting rich off NCAA football?  I can't say that I've seen a dime of it.

 

I'd also say that the people in favor of not paying players see the value of a good education.  

 

That last line is probably true as well. If the players themselves are taking that part of it for granted, thats on them. Not sure why getting (in some cases) a free ride at a college that otherwise costs regular people upwards of 50,000 to $100K is somehow blown off by these college athletes and they need more.... :confused: 

 

I'm all for letting the players actually be able to keep what they can get for autographs and stuff like that....but to actually "pay" players? No. Totally against that.
