At what point do the salaries of coaches reach the point where athletes say "enough is enough".

These guys are becoming multi-millionaires off of their blood, sweat and tears and they don't get to share in the wealth. It just seems patently unfair.

Will we see a new push for stipends for athletes?

Never. This is a dumb question that is on the wrong board.

Football players get full scholarships including room and board. They get special help with school work. They get to be studs on campus with the women.

That is more than enough compensation for them to play a sport that they love.

Playing for the right multi-millionaire HC is a pretty solid path to becoming a multi-millionaire athlete in the future

It's not the coaches salaries that should be making them go bonkers, it's the TV money to the conferences/schools.

:cue but that money pays for girls lacrosse:
