In the real world, "free market" does not include getting stuff for free. If we're going to abolish the whole point of amateurism, then I don't see why athletic scholarships should still be given out.

Umm you offer a full scholarship, whether its athletic or academic, because you want said individual to enroll in your school. To help persuade them, you attempt to minimize the financial burden of attending the school. If a university wants to stop giving athletic scholarships, thats fine. But expect to not get any good players anymore.

Yall act like being a star football player for 3-4 years is some mindless easy task anyone could do. Being an elite D1 star athlete is almost certainly more “work” than anyone in this thread did in 4 years of college.

I am almost certain it will be much much more than 20k a year. Also, about 1000$ a month comes in the form of a stipend every month. That’s 12k right there. Sign some autographs, promote some companies, even your slightly above avg player is going to be making upwards of 100k pre tax after it’s all said and done.
LSU put out today in a recruiting flyer that Ja’marr Chase would have made 500,000 JUST with Instagram and Twitter. What do you think he would have made with that PLUS other social media, appearances, autographs, jerseys , etc. every major team will have at LEAST 5-10 players at that level of money.
You won’t find that at school buddy. At least not in my time.

What are you talking about? That comment was that they have garaunteed 3-4 years of free publicity. Social media influencers often times do not make it that long. That’s all that was about. LSU players are popular and have 100k+ followings on social media before even getting to campus
I played 4 years of college football. I will never discredit the work that goes into it at the SEC level. Hell even d2.

He is an exception. How many different ways does it need to be explained to you? There will be way more Ethan Laings than there will be Ja'marr Chases.

If a non athlete can get a full academic scholarship, get paid for their talents, and trade in on their likeness rights if anyone wants to pay them for them but doesn't get their academic scholarship yanked why the hell should an athlete suddenly have to pay for their athletic scholarship?

I have said before major colleges will have anywhere between 10-15 players doing 6figs.
LSU will likely have 4-5 a year doing jamarr chase numbers. Do you not think our 2019 team would have had 6-7 or more kids gross over 1mm or close to it? Hell canes might do that by itself with our top players.
Burrow, chase, Jefferson, Clyde, sting, delpit, etc.
You are deeply discrediting how creative they can get with these deals and how many they can have. There are so many ways they can go to make money. You have no idea how many agents will throw money in the form of deals to potential nfl prospects. Again, i was just making a statement. I am not AGAINST it
Also, why are you taking it so personal. It’s not that huge of a deal but you seem like you have some issues buddy.

You missed the point as well. lol it’s not that they don’t work 100x harder than the avg student. It’s just saying that they have 3-4 years of garaunteed exposure and fans. Social media influencers typically do not last that long. Only a few do.
Also, I agree completely with the rest of what you said. I do think they acted off of emotion and pressure and did not think it out fully. This will be absolutely terrible for recruiting and they need to put some type of policy in place regarding recruiting and transfer portal / tampering

No way for Burrow and Clyde. Clyde wasn't even projected to start
And even if I gave you all those guys, they are still the extreme minority. quote:

Not taking it personal at all.

What should happen is all schools be like North Carolina and don't make players go to class at all.

LSU stops giving football scholarships. LSU plays a bunch of walk-ons and becomes the worst team in the SEC, adn eventually kicked out of the SEC and eventually a team no one gives a shite about. You know what LSU won't have, millions upon millions of dollars funneling back into the program, so why do they want to do away with scholarships?
And again, this isn't addressing why posters only want to do away with athletic scholarships, but still allow academic ones when those folks have always had the ability to do the same exact thing that athletes are now able to do with NIL.

I think it’s a valid point . The players are making the schools money, and the schools are making the players money so getting a free ride for education seems outdated. The players wouldn’t be getting paid without the exposure from the schools .This is the same exposure that allows them the opportunity to go to the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc... The players on scholarship have gotten tuition free educations in exchange for playing sports . Why shouldn’t they pay now that they are getting paid?
*** Should they pay a certain percentage?
It’s all about business!
Literally no one cares, you're just butthurt the NCAA won't ruin players' careers anymore because they get a free meal outside of their academic institution, it's all horseshite. The NCAA clearly was founded with the greatest of intentions but, since the Board of Regents SCOTUS case, it's more than past time to let student-athletes receive some money for their abilities. They're old enough to sign a contract on their own, they're old enough to make money, let's be real.

You can’t. It’s a circle in need of squaring.
