Quote:I guess they could if the colleges were hiring college students to coach the teams.
 

 

College students?!?!? What is year is this, 1920?

 

They hire football players to play football, they are not 'students'.

They definitely don't recruit the kids to contribute anything of significance academically. It's football 24/7.

Give the kids some royalties based on if their jersey gets sold. If a #2 Texas AM jersey gets sold, Johnny should get a certain percentage of that.


Boom. Done!
