No. The argument was initially that. It’s since evolved into more ‘equality’ arguments since that’s the newest buzz-word to use to get what you want, but players being too broke to eat was absolutely one of the initial arguments for it.

The argument is and always has been that college players make millions of dollars for their school yet receive hardly any tangible compensation for their time. The amount of money Joe Burrow made the school is probably in the 9 digit range when factors like marketing and advertising are factored in. For that he was given the opportunity to take classes for free and a meal plan. Not exactly an even trade.

So, elaborate, why is a player flexing a probably $1000 tattoo “moronic” for using it to ironically suggest that clearly players need half the revenue (per the PAC-12 player demands)?

I don't agree that they need half the revenues but to make the assumption that all players have money ( or aren't broke ) because 1 got an elaborate tattoo is one of the dumber things I've read on this site.
