So many people want to make sweeping changes with the NCAA based on a microscopic percentage of players who are actual stars and actually sell jerseys at like 40 schools in America. You don't create guidelines and changes based on the outliers of a population.
BS!!!
You can pay every scholarship player at Alabama $40-45K a year, and they still wouldn't make as much as Nick Saban...COMBINED!!! The only thing paying players threatens, is these ridiculous administrative & coaching salaries.
What it really threatens is the tennis team, track team, handball, sand volleyball...all the sports who don't actually make money.
There are literally thousands of college football players in America and people pay to watch maybe 200 of them.
This notion that athletes are mistreated is laughable. Again, a miniscule percentage is. The others gain enormous value from their skill, far outweighing what they would make if they were able to go charge for the services elsewhere.
The elite players basically fund the other programs for non-elite players, schools, programs, sports out there.
If I were to make changes it would be to do away with any sort of requirement for staying in school.
