William Schmidt was worth pretty much negative money for lsu this year, he cost them way more than anything he brought them, yet he made over 1 million dollars
Yeh man, bad faith

It’s about power too. They love the influence and everything that comes with paying the players

No one is saying this
Yall are seriously arguing a player has zero value and then 90 days later when he gets drafted into the nfl and signs a Nike and beats contract and $30 million dollar guaranteed contract he suddenly has value. It’s asinine

No one is arguing that a collegiate athlete has no value. However, what we are arguing is that the market value for players in college football is nowhere near the levels that we are seeing. As a result, we are watching in real time as multiple athletic programs are imploding under the strain to keep up with an ever-changing environment.

Tell me what was burrows value
Not his value to winning, not his value to fans or boosters who want to win
His value to LSU football financially and the bottom line

95%+ of players are getting little to nothing. As they deserve. Many are still likely underpaid

There are infinitely more overpaid athletes in college than underpaid. Not even relatively close
For example 95% of college athletes getting free scholarships are overpaid because the school loses money on everything they do
Every single athlete in
Women’s sports
Tennis
Golf
Baseball at 99.9% of schools
Swimming
Track
Etc
Is overpaid jsut with their damn scholarship yet you conveniently don’t talk about that. Clown world

So LSU made less in real dollars in 2022 than 2019? Makes sense to me
Posted on 6/19/25 at 12:50 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
The NFL makes $20 billion a year in revenue with 1,792 players. That's $11.1 million per player. In contrast, in 2024, the SEC made about $850 million with 5,540 scholarship athletes. That's around $157,000 per athlete. The numbers just don't compare; the NFL is worth so much more. Yet we have players on SEC teams who are making MILLIONS of dollars a year.
The market is overpriced.

You are the one that talked about all the underpaid athletes my man, not me. But now you want to ignore the 99% that are vastly overpaid because “it isn’t about money always “

This isn’t how it works… at all. What a fricking moron. Educate yourself before saying something this stupid

When 99% are overpaid, you trying to focus on what you call underpaid is absolutely insane

I'm sorry but you're just wrong. I know you're probably not 12 years old or anything, but just in case here's some knowledge for you: just because you say something doesn't work doesn't make it true. But please continue to lash out like a child if that's how you prefer to debate.

That's where the largest inequity occurs. A&M built a stadium on the back of one player and he couldn’t even sign autographs, much less capitalize on his enormous fame at the time

Here is what he doesn’t understand, he thinks it’s truly about worth
How about this for worth?
Men’s tennis players at SEC schools are getting paid over 100k per year now in cash. It’s batshit insane and has ZERO to do with worth.
He can’t pretend to argue it anymore but I will be fascinated to watch him try

Athletes made exactly $0 from league revenue last year so comparing it to the nfl where league revenue is split based on an agreement, in in fact, not at all how it works

I bet he is really rich making a lot today because he had his own individual worth right?
