Bilas has also banged the drum of college players not getting paid for a long time and says the NCAA exploits college players. If that's true and he feels that strongly about it, then Bilas should resign his job because, after all, he works for a company that profits from said "exploitation" of college players.
I'm tired of the "players should get paid" argument and I'm tired of the pompous-arse Jay Bilases of the world. Most college players get a full scholarship in basketball and football and a platform upon which they can showcase their talents for professional sports employers. I'm sorry but the 53rd guy on a football team should not be paid.

But who is worth what? and who decides?
Yeah, they sell #7 jerseys because of the Honey Badger or Buga.
But they don't sell #34 jerseys do they? Or any other number for that matter.
So who gets what? What does Jamie Keehn deserve?
99% of these student athletes are getting more from the university than what they bring to give to the university. 99% aren't marketable until they get to college and the university's platform allows them to shine.
So let's upend the whole fricking thing for 1%?
And Bilas, Mike and Mike and all the others at ESPN need to just shut up. How are they any different than EA Sports (who had to stop using player likenesses)?
