That's also true in the NFL. Just because his value is low doesn't mean he has no value.

For some reason I was under the impression many believed if players were to be paid, it would be like a stipend divided equally amongst the players equally. I guess no one knows really.

But a 3rd string LT in the NFL might have dominated the likes of Alabama and LSU in college. At least he somewhat earned it. I just don't agree with paying some guy money that may have dominated some podunk high school in a small southern town last year because he was bigger than everyone else. It just gets watered down.

I do agree that they should get money from endorsements and stuff but paying the 3rd string kicker who never plays a snap? And if you only give it to players on scholarship then what about a sport like college baseball that only gives out 11.5 of them to the whole team? That doesn't seem fair either
