re: Have to do a speech on why college athletes should NOT get paid.

quote:

If the football players are getting paid, every athlete on all mens and womens teams need to get paid as well.

No they don't. When they bring in as much money as football, basketball, and to a lesser extent baseball players do then they can be paid. Until then they should be happy for the Big3 revenue that subsidizes their scholarships and STFU

quote:

-If schools are allowed to come up with their own system, the big money schools are going to further distance themselves from the smaller schools. The playing field will become even more uneven.

Would like to see this happen in football tbh. Somehow create an NCAA tourney type environment where the best of the Power 5 go against the top of the CUSA, American, Sunbelt ect. Schools would split tv revenue money and everyone would be happy.

-It opens up shady behavior even moreso than it alreayd is. Your big time athletes can buy a brand new car, take pics with a handful of hundreds, buy out the bar eveyr saturday night, etc. When questioned they can simply say "it's my stipend money". Basically these under the table deals will ramp up considerably because now the players actually WOULD have an excuse for how they are spending all this money.

There has been shady behavior in college athletics since it's inception. It will not go away. And if some 50 year-old, rich, white, guy gets his rocks off by giving his money away to college athletes then more power to him
