errrr...isn't this already in practice? oh add cars and "tutors" for the top notch players.
I think they should keep the kids as far away from the money as possible, If they become younger "pro" players I'll just give up on sports, I stopped watching the NBA when the Bulls threepeted.. I figured I'd never see a team as good and as far as i can tell there hasn't been. Pro-football is still ok simply because they have a larger field. CFB is much better. There is an honesty in amateur sports that you won't hardly find in the pros.
I think Paying the players will ruin the honesty that these kids play with. Sure they are playing for their future especially when there are scouts watching, but they are playing for it, and each other, and their team. They aren't playing with the knowledge of a paycheck already written for the game that he's playing in.
colleges already cheat them with substandard education,
dont provide full coverage as far as housing and meal's
if you think athletes are students first then athletes you never played a sport.
Your in meetings and lifting between classes after classes you got 3 hours of practice daily usually off on the weekends then you got games on saturdays.
When exactly do you have time to be a student.
the biggest joke is the NCAA rules on what the athletes could get if a non athlete gets freebies for knowing ppl nothing happens.
If your buds dad owns a restaurant and gives you free food cuz your meal plan is crap NCAA gets on you like white on rice.
There is too many gaps in scholarships esp for those without means and those gaps are usually not part of FAFSA etc.
You don't have to pay them Just get rid of the bullshit rules that don't allow them to profit off their likeliness why can only the schools exploit your athleticism?
Get rid of the shit that has to deal with receiving perks from people that know you its all crap.
As is athletes cant get jobs due to class/Sport schedules.
