Why stop at college athletes? In Texas, a state championship football game can draw 40,000. Where’s the money for those players? Again, some people go to the game JUST because their kid is in the band or cheerleading. Give those kids money.
Do any of those programs turn profit? I'm totally fine with non profitable sports not being a part of the revenue share. NIL is still going to be a thing for those sports though.

It is work, and they should be able to capitalize, but I disagree. It’s not easy, but I wouldn’t suggest it’s more difficult than many jobs. Being a college football player? Good grief…if you suck at it, you focus on your free schooling and still get your NIL payday. If you suck at your real job, you get fired and can no longer support yourself.

Scholarships can get pulled, players can be kicked off the team, cut, etc. There are plenty of people that suck at their real jobs that don't get fired.

so wait, does the room and board and the shite you are crying about have value or not?

Definitely agree with that. This means your profiting athletes are in football or basketball, and maybe baseball at a few schools.

Great question. I assume a big game at your home stadium does when you draw 5-7K people. After security and staffers are paid, there’s money to be had.

That would go both ways. Some shitty football players remain on a scholarship. I’m just suggesting that the pressures of working a real job are more significant in life than playing college football.

It obviously does for college students.
But wait, now you're saying room and board IS enough?
Do you even remember what you originally posted?

About like you are getting worked in this thread. Playing a game isn’t working. Idc what kind of excuses you make to make it seem that way. They work about as much as you do posting on this site all day every day. Should your dumbass get paid for making Chicken money? These kids already have no clue what work is and now you really set them up for failure in the future bc they have no clue what actually earning a buck is but then again you obviously don’t either. The sport is fricked until changes are made. The majority agree on that

It's enough if that is what the market dictates for you.

100%. I think this thread got a little derailed. The OP suggested that every single football player should be fine with getting the benefits of a scholarship and that's it. I think that's a pretty dumb thought.

The same idiots who supported this shite are now crying about but still trying to lecture people who knew this would happen. It takes a special kind of brain rot to do shite like this.

You posted this:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your premise was that college athletes shouldn't be subject to such an agreement because regular working people wouldn't agree to such an arrangement, correct?
If you meant something else and I'm off base please tell me.

I would love for you to walk up to NFL players and tell them this. Like I would love for you to walk up to Joe Burrow or Jayden Daniels and tell them that they didn't work hard in college.

If you think playing and working at sports is like actual work you’ve never done either

lots of high school and juco kids put in the same work but weren't blessed with certain genetics

People defending this shite are the exact group of fools that were exploited to implement the mess we’re in now. Totally ignorant, media influenced puppets who don’t know shite from shine.

No I have never played sports at a collegiate or professional level. I do have a regular job though. Where did you play? Do you think that guys like Burrow and Jayden didn't work hard in college? There have been reports that Jayden gets to the facility at 4-5am. What time do you get to work?
