re: Why does society perceive playing football earns the right of payment?

quote:

---

Based on current system there is no reason to pay college players beyond morality.

They cannot play for the NFL out of high school. That’s the NFLs rule.

There is no other league that will pay them.

They don’t have leverage to demand payment.

The problem is schools WANT to pay players.

They want to be able to use their resources to gain a competitive advantage.

Also there is an arguement that these schools are raking in Million and millions on the backs of these players, and maybe they should get a taste.
