    Just pay the damn players. End the ridiculous charade. Mediocre coaches make 2.75 million a year. These guys don't deserve $125,000?

    Don't pay the tennis, volleyball and bi-sexual tranny handball players.

    Pay one you have to pay them all over all sports the same amount. Same pay scale at every school too

    which makes them employees. Not going to happen
    No you don't

    Do all athletes get the stipend football players get?
    I assume you have the answer to your question so go ahead and tell us why that is the same as paying players and we can skip several steps here

    That was a legit question, but I was under the impression it doesn't apply to everyone.

    How bout this. If a guy wants to get paid, fine, let him. But if he does, he loses his scholarship, his food money, his stipend. So he is off the university books. He still counts as a number on the schollie count, but the university doesn't have to pay him, whoever he is getting the money from has to, and the athlete has to get taxed on their income.

    So, use a guy like Baker Mayfield. He was a walk on so no one was paying him his freshman or sophmore year. By his Jr year it was apparent he could get paid. So he has to decide. Does he want to be a college athlete, or a pro athlete paying for college.

    If a guy takes money during a year that he is getting scholarship money, he has to pay it all back that year. Year is from August to June. So before the school year starts, you have to decide what you are going to be. Once you go pro, you can't go back to a scholarship athlete. But if you are stupid enough to get paid for two years, fine.

    If some agent wants to take a chance with the 7 foot AZ hoops player, fine. If he wants to take the chance with the fast pitch stud like Danielle Lawrie. If he wants to take a chance with Jake Browning (who sucks by the way) Knock yourself out. But you have to pay for their year of education and all the other shit college athletes get also.

    Male and female student-athletes must receive equitable "treatment" and "benefits." I'm not sure how you could possibly get around paying 85 football players without offsetting that with equal payments to 85 female athletes. This would bankrupt just about any program outside of the top 25 in revenue, and I don't know how any non-money male sport could possibly survive as their subsidies from the football and basketball programs would almost certainly be cut.

    NCAA pulled in almost a Billion Dollars and had an 80 million surplus in 2014. Huffington Post is my source:
    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/11/ncaa-revenue-2014_n_6851286.html

    It probably shouldn't be up to the individual program but the NCAA in my opinion to start sharing proceeds with the athletes that make it happen.
