    Damone is right you're dreaming if you think the feds will stand by while male football players get paid.

    But let's pay the players and ride unicorns and give everyone a raise a free healthcare while we burn biomass. Yipee

    Or you could let all college athletes license their names. Do you at least see the merit in that?

    Johnny football should already have millions in his pocket for endorsements, jersey sales, etc.

    At the moment all that money goes to the NCAA or AD's.
    John Football was given a platform he wouldn't have otherwise had by the NCAA. No free platform, no Johnny Football. Do you at least see the merit in that?

    What do they do with that money? Does Mr. Burns keep it?

    Colleges are ripping you and your generation off far more than they are ripping off football players.

    Of course they keep it. They earned it.

    Let's not perpetuate the student athlete myth. Around half of football and basketball players don't even read at a high school level when they graduate college.
    Do you have any thoughts of your own? If you don't want to "perpetuate the student athlete myth" (great talking point as always) then take the game out of the university all together and the players can get paid what they are worth - nothing until they make the NFL

    Watched any A league baseball lately?

    I asked where all this money that the universities are ripping the players off for goes to. The Hooker and Blow Center didn't build itself.

    You don't even care that colleges have huge endowments that should make tuition free but instead they rig the price in cahoots with the college loan scam so you leave school a hundred grand in debt with a shit education.

    Instead let's worry about guys getting a free education and the best training in the world and contacts that last a lifetime. They are fucking SLAVES
    It's free but it's hardly an education.

    And it's the best training in the world for the ~3% of D1 football players that actually play in the pros.

    No one is saying they're slaves. Why shouldn't they be able to profit off their name?

    Branding is a pretty low percentage of AD revenue. http://espn.go.com/ncaa/revenue

    If players were to be paid, donations would likely skyrocket because the competition to get the best players will be even higher.

    The economic studies find college football will be just fine.

    The only issue is whether Mark Emmert will fuck it up, which, as we know, is likely.
    You obviously haven't thought this through. Go back to the drawing board.

    You completely missed the point. Not for the first time. You bolded replies to my points that didn't reply to my point. You just spouted your talking points.

    Why not try again and actually respond to what I said with your own thoughts if you have any.

    Hint - nowhere did I say that people wouldn't watch if college football wasn't amateur

    It will be minor league football when colleges drop


    Fuck you're a moron dude..

    Colleges won't drop. The money will always be there. That's exactly what I responded too.

    You've been beat old man.
    Disagree
