They're generating BILLIONS
Then why pay Nick Saban $7 million? Why spend so much money recruiting?
If you could just put any product out there and people would watch, then why would they waste money?
The idea that individual players don't really matter that much is downright asinine.
Dude, it's the only way to be able to do their vocation. It'd be like forcing Michael Jackson to perform for a "college scholarship" instead of paying him. He's not trying to be a doctor or lawyer, he's trying to moonwalk. There's nobody in their right mind who'd argue that Epic records paying him in "tuition, room & board" would be adequate compesnation for him making Thriller.
Johnny Manziel, they estimated brought in $120 million dollars in ONE SEASON at Texas A&M.
Then, they go out of business, what's the problem?
Only about 20 schools are relevant anyway.
Pretty much USC, Texas, Notre Dame, Alabama, Florida schools, and a few others win championships anyway.
Then don't have sports. Just like if you have a business that can't afford to pay it's employees, they don't make the argument that
Oh eat a dikk. With your logic we shouldn't pay young musicians or actors who generate millions of dollars because there's lots of people in Hollywood struggling and working at waiters.
Guess what? A lot of these guys are training every day of their lives from the time they can walk to be able to play a sport. Don't get mad at them because they're better at what they do than anybody you've ever met in your life is at what they do.
Dude, if you told Justin Bieber, yeah, you sold millions of records, but we're not gonna give you money, we're gonna give you "education, bills, food, etc. . ", he'd look at you like

There's no way you can argue that people who are literally generating billion dollar TV contracts and some of them are some of the most famous people in America at any given time (Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton were) shouldn't be compensated beyond room, board , & education
Same thing happens in Hollywood all the time. Plenty of kids move to Hollywood to get famous and end up in porn. So what? It's their lives, we don't restrict people from opportunity just because it might not work out for them.
That's a bad arguement, because guys want to go to the NFL. How would going to OSU to sit on the bench for 4 years benefit a guy who would want to be drafted no.1 in the draft?
It would benefit guys to spread out, just because they need the NFL to see how good they are, so they can really make the big, big NFL money.
Plus, why would Nike, Addidas, Under Armour, etc. . . want to sponsor bench players? They wouldn't.
A guy like Johnny Manziel was worth more at Texas A&M than he would've been being a back up quarterback at Alabama.
Let the free market do it. How do record companies determine a rappers value before he's made his first album?
Only about 30 or 40 schools are relevant anyway. Most of these schools would be better off focusing on education only, like they do in the rest of the world?
Dude, ESPN has done TONS of stories about how athletes educations from some of these major universities aint shyt, and how coaches tell them which classes they can and cannot take based on how much it interferes with football.
This is the post of the thread.
A pimp essentially says.
I take all of the hoes money because I provide a roof over their head, I'm the one who buys their clothes, feeds them, and gets them out of jail if they get busted.
If I let them have the money, then, they'd spend it on dumb shyt. I keep them organized.
How is this ANY different than the argument against paying players in NCAA?
STOP IT. The education comes down to how bad the individual player wants it..........
Most of these schools are losing money I though most people knew that.
This would cause the level of competition everywhere else to slowly die
How many companies are legit on their level competing with them?.. Exactly my point, thanks
