They lost me as soon as they said that players should make money based on the sales of signed jerseys. What is to say a booster doesn't give a kid $5k for a jersey. Most of the people on the panel were horrible.


Look at the schools these guys represent. Of course they are fine with paying players in that way, because they have the richest boosters.

If they want to curb all of this shite, why don't these coaches take a pay cut more in line with the reasonable range rather than claiming "poor athletes".

College sports are allowed exemptions because they aren't supposed to be a profit-making business, yet many of them make huge profits. Easiest thing to do is take tax exemption status away from the NCAA and it's schools.

First, MOST schools do NOT make much if any on college football and Second, WTF does a coaches salary have to do with college FB players(and ALL THE REST of that colleges sports team)getting paid ? All the money that schools make goes to the rest of the sports team that LOSE a LOT of money.

Do you want to kill major college sports or are you a tulane fan who is just pissed that your team is never going to be a factor in college FB?
