re: Paying college athletes would only lead to more dirty money

5 Reasons to not pay college athletics in no particular order

1. Title IX
2. Agents, Boosters, Shady friends of players etc will ruin it causing more regulation and higher expenses for everyone. Corruption will happen if athletes are allow to make money off signatures.
3. Uncle Sam- NFL athletes pay different taxes in different cities. This will open up the same tax burden on college athletes.
4. Jerseys Sales even for top athletes is not that much- Colleges get 10% royalties off sales. The Academic side of the University get the lions share leaving departments with 3% or so. 3% of $1million is $30k. Athletic department needs their cut. How is the athlete going to get $10,000? Give $4,000 to Uncle Sam. Is this really worth it?
5. Entitlement mentality- Do this and you will continue to add to the mentality in this country. I need, I am supposed to get, this is what I'm entitled too because I have dreads, cool Mohawk, ran for a 125 yards in a big game.

Athletes get paid through an education, meals, housing, training, first class experience etc. If you want to end this allow any athlete out of high school to go pro when they want. If you want to go to college play by the rules or go try to get paid in the pros.

End of story. This will ruin college football if it happens. The out for blood media types don't have a plan and don't know the implications of allowing this.
