True or False Stingley generates millions for the school and he doesn’t see a .0010 of it in his pocket?

True or False The program is able to maintain its elite facilities and the required benefits Bc of players like Stingley over the years?

Let me know when you start buying tickets to see a walk on. Y’all see players a chattel. The problem is that you don’t think that players should make
more than the avg worker and it rubs u the wrong way Bc it’s football. Yet are you generating millions a year for your employer or business? Probably not.You could easily pay a player 60k a year with the benefits included and this shite would stop for the most part. LSU current COA is what 4K, man stop!!!!

False. Players receive a monthly stipend. Brandon Taylor, a former player who was given a job opportunity because he is a former player, said on the radio that the players receive about 5X the monthly stipend that they used to receive just 10 years ago.

False. The facilities are maintained by the millions of dollars raised by boosters and many former players also give back (Tyran Mathieu for example). Jamar Chase didn’t give a dime to pay for that sleep pod that he had in his locker. Seems it didn’t care too much for it.

At this point, college football would be a better product if the NFL created a minor league. That way, college football fans would be able to count on their favorite players staying 4 years and being there because they want to be.

Yes, the talent level would dip, but at least the culture of what college football used to be would return.

False.

Fans support their school, not individual players. I don't know of a single LSU fan that turned in their tickets or quit watching because Joe Burrow is no longer there.

You want to reap the benefits of capitalism and the free market, but you don't want to suffer the disadvantages.

The fact is there is no significant paid market for an 18-year-old football player. If there was a demand for one, it would exist.

If your argument is that no one else will pay you, then you have no argument.
