Gotta be the most hilariously depressing argument ever HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How can we possibly make it work? It's just too complicated!

Exactly. Including everything that's a 200k+ value over 4 years. Not to mention the future earning power u get from having a degree from a top university vs not having a degree..
There is no system of paying players that could logically work. About all u can do is allow them to get the % from the jersey sales. Which only a handful of players on the top teams will make any money from that, causing resentment, etc..
fukk outta here it's not even close to being a fair exchange.

I'm still waiting on one of u to respond on almost every university LOSING money from sports
but the thing about that is that theres nothing stopping a booster for giving some kid twenty grand for 'signing a jersey'
official merchandise, kids should be getting a cut. but rules like that actually do kinda make sense if you wanna keep up this implication that shyt is on the up and upon the other hand,
why do i care if that kid gets that twenty grand for his services?
Its ridiculous man. As if colleges don't already employ THOUSANDS of people who are compensated in different ways
this is what i think
because it also solves an important issue thats gonna come up; why doesnt the fukkin volleyball team get paid, why doesnt the shyttiest kids on the roster get paid. because you have to generate the revenue yourself directly
I wont argue your point, but in Florida, Texas and California, most of those athletes stay in state, if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong. Having said that,
So if the 5 star athlete from the state of Florida chooses to go to the University of Florida, the cost of his tuition is going to be far less than an athlete coming from the state of Georgia to play football at the University of Florida.
So the notion of free tuition, room and board isn't necessarily a fair argument to make for some athletes in some states. But like I said, your argument is valid.

Teachers like Walt should be paid less I agree. Especially since y'all think an Education is worthless.

Well then if the special little delicates are tired of being exploited then they can quit. It's not slavery. Nobody is forcing them to do anything.
We got young men and women out here struggling to pay their way through college, working multiple jobs, having no life outside of school and work, getting little to no sleep on a nightly basis and I'm supposed to feel sorry for some spoiled punk athletes most of whom get thousands of dollars worth of free shyt. Boo fukking hoo.
So we know how to pay people for making money for others all across the world but college sports it's just to complicated
Yeah, it's really odd how the women's soccer coach can be paid literally 50 times less than the men's football coach at a University, for putting in the same hours coaching an "amateur" sport but somehow resentment over compensation inequity doesn't make it impossible or even stir a protest for anyone. But players getting a stipend that would still pay them well under their value? Students would riot! Where is the fairness? What about the cross country runners? Who will think of them? Meanwhile, the football team just built a new $30 million dollar gym no other students can use, and spent $70 million to renovate their stadium. Students, in reality, have no idea where their tuition money goes. And they raise no issues, really... until they think, wrong or right, that it might got to some black kid who already has everything handed to him, damn it!
