Will suddenly senior players sue for age discrimination?

What about reparations?

Will the nation be outraged? Will this have legs?

purpledawgfanFS thinks they shouldn't have to pay taxes.

I'd like to see how they apparently fall squarely under the federal definition of an employee but then be somehow exempt from income tax.

Don't change what works. The system has its flaws, but it provides us with great college football every year. Prick ass whiny liberal power to the people while I'm sipping my latte in my white ivory tower fucknuts like the cunts that go to Northwestern, must always rabble rouse because they have nothing better to do.

They can easily devise a program to loan the athlete's money to pay the tax, allow it to compound at about 7% and defer payments until about six months after they graduate or flunk out.

Why does the concept of paying people wages commensurate with the money they are brining in make so many people uncomfortable?

The coach at Alabama gets more than the coach at UAB. Because the coach at Alabama brings in more money than the coach at UAB.

College football is not going to break if you pay the players. Just like it has not broken with $6 million dollar coaches and lavish facilities.
