Northwestern football players are trying to start a labor union. The poor players aren't getting paid to play. The coaches get paid and they don't. The schools are making money by selling their jerseys. Sniff, sniff. Ignore the fact that you get a free education, a free platform to showcase your skills, fame and a shot at the NFL if you're a good enough player. None of that is worth anything, right? It would be nice if someone could determine the monetary value of the platform these players are provided by the NCAA and their school to make a name for themselves and further their careers, particularly the ones who are the best at what they do. That's worth millions in and of itself. So STFU.
If you support this shit you need to DIAFF. You are supporting the end of CFB as we know it.

Seems easy, pay the players a bit but pull their scholarships.

Mods? Not only was this story posted to start another thread but this guy is a fucking idiot.

You're the poster girl for pay the players on the board. Discussing your idiotic viewpoint on this issue deserves another thread. 2 threads on the subject is far less than the 223 threads about climate change that have been started to refute your views.CollegeDoog said:Mods?

I don't know. Times change. There is a tremendous amount of money in cfb, but it is not going to the people playing the game.

Free education and publicity is a form of pay. It reaps dollars later on down the road.ApostleofGrief said:I don't know. Times change. There is a tremendous amount of money in cfb, but it is not going to the people playing the game.

They don't need to be paid. What they need is a fund set up to pay for their medical bills in 30 years.

Really, I know a guy with constant back pain who played 25 years ago.

It's not an education close to the value of the scholarship because schools subvert the entire process. UNC got caught creating fake classes for athletes. The sociology majors most of these kids are pushed through are worthless. Half of them are semi-literate.
The publicity point is oh so fucking stupd. Who generates the publicity? The players. Where does the money go? The NCAA and its member schools. This trickles down to the administrators and coaches.
For instance, the NCAA has. 770 million dollar deal with CBS to broadcast college basketball for just 3 weekends in March. Players see 0 of that revenue.
Most of them (97%) won't go pro so what the fuck is the value of that publicity when they don't see any money from it.
I thought you were the guy who hated corporate greed and the exploit of a work force. Revenue generating athletes are not receiving anything close to their actual value in a free market.
Hope this helps. -
