You gonna lump teenage actors and 19 year old NBA players in that group? Shoot dude, if you’re really talented at something that has a ton of demand that people are willing to pay for in time and attention (as I’m sure you yourself do with college football), you get compensated for that. That’s how the world works. Recognize what you have natural talent for, work hard at honing it, put it to use, experience the benefits. Everyone has different vocations, theirs just happens to be college football for the time being and we pay their salaries with our time and attention. Don’t like it? Stop watching college football.

Well i sure hope they no longer get scholarships, and give those based on academic reasons. These ball players are no longer amateurs, they are professionals. In fact, i don't see why they are associated with colleges anymore. In fact, college sports in general should probably be dissolved, and let these professionals form their own sports leagues.

Your wish is being granted. Pay for play and the portal has cheapened college athletics and no one really cares anymore.

They’re professionals now too - Be prepared to take all that comes with that.
