Re: NCAA football and paying players

I've heard several arguments both for and against paying college players, but when this factoid rolled up on my Twitter feed, all I could do was shake my head.

Power 5 programs are paying a combined $69.01 Million in buyouts this year alone...you could give every Power 5 football player around $10,000 with that money...Institutions of higher education are paying $69,010,000 to seven individuals for them to not work #crazy

Do you realize that due to Title IX if you pay 85 football players you also have to pay 85 female student-athletes the same ammount of money?

It's not just the women. You have to pay everyone.
The NCAA will never do this, because they don't have to.
There is a very small percentage of players, mostly the elite football and basketball players, that are worth more than their scholarships and other benefits to the school.
The other 99 percent are worth less than their scholarships to the school.
So, all these people talking about "worth" and "market value" will be very disappointed with that model. Most athletes would end up owing the school.

I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that college sports would cease to exist before the NCAA would pay players.

I just want the video game back, honestly.
