people are so fricking ungrateful these days. OH NO life is so tough because im going to school for free and doing whatever the hell i want for free for 3-4 years then i go make millions.


Ungrateful for being told how they have to accept compensation for a job, that destroys their bodies while others get straight cash. Yes yes they are.

It would ruin college football for people like you who still live in the fantasy world of amateur athletics.

i am very much aware of how college sports work....but it is my opinion that the way it is now is much better than what it will be if they start paying the players more than they already do. you need to look long term at this

If players are going to get paid, there should be a separate league outside of collegiate athletics. The stars would go semipro, and the student athletes would be just that. No way should there be a school branded semipro team.

Here come your best money can buy LSU Fighting Tigers! GTFO. College is for learning, not being a pro athlete.
