Follow me to the truth
I got paid in experience and job training. Something more important than money.
Didn't bother me 1 bit not getting paid.
Are youright now?
All that shyt has a cost, how could you think otherwise?
Yall are idiots and @Walt has been giving yall insight on how flawed these arguments are.
No offense, but you are a dumbass.
In what world is experience and job training better than getting Cash money.
Free internship is just a way for companies to get free labor and not have to pay labor and/or benefits for work performed.
These things are all giving to benefit the school, NOT the Players.
You don't need Free Travel, coaching, weight training to be a student and get an education.
All that other stuff is so that they can get more money for the school, because the better the Football program the more money school makes.
Another bullshyt argument when the value of a degree is going down every single year.
What you described are exceptions, not the norm.
There are systems in place to push players to certain majors where the administrators and professors will look the other way so kids want get into academic trouble.
Going to college is not just about going to class and getting a degree, its about interactions and becoming a well rounded human being.
You don't get that by having play football
I'd think the exact opposite was true

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
How is free food, free travel, free tuition, free coaching, free housing, etc giving the benefit to the school? These are all the perks of having a D1 scholarship, especially in football. These all come at a cost to the university and then multiply that by 60-90 football players. That may not be important to y'all advocating for student athletes to get paid, but those are real costs
Your argument doesn't really make sense
No,
Football players don't get the group projects, spending time in the library, study groups interacting with professors, going to hear the plethora of speakers that show up on campus.
Football players don't come close to getting the full college experience that makes you able to transition to the work world and work environment.
:dafukk:
All of this stuff is so the school can field the best team possible.
None of this stuff is a cost to the university. The fixed cost of this stuff will still be intact if the football scholarships didn't exist
That's debatable, especially your second point about the full college experience. Yes, they are there first and foremost to play football(at thr D1 level at least) but the doors you can open and contacts you build directly through the football program are opportunities that a regular undergrad student sure as hell doesnt see. If you're, say a Michigan alum, like Ed said, who played football...that right there is a golden ticket if you have a degree. Companies love athletes to begin with.

A majority of players don't graduate
A majority of players are pushed into "personal finance" and recreation management majors
Not true...both basketball and football are over 70%

Legal Bookie
should the schools be responsible for giving more to athletes than a scholarship and all that goes along with that? no. i dont think its feasible. its the ncaa that needs to change and allow these players the opportunity to make their own lincensing deals, and earn from their fame and their likeness while in school. the ncaa isnt educating jack shyt, the school is, yet the ncaa is raking in the billions of dollars in tv and merchandising rights off these players with virtually little in return to the players. the onus isnt on the school to provide more to the players, its on the ncaa. it should come from their end, not the schools

not getting some money for a couple months vs not getting an internship at all and having no experience in what I want to do with my life...hmmm yea I'm a dumb ass
give a man a fish or teach him to fish bruh
All of this is true, but the BOLDED AND UNDERLINED is the shyt cats will just float right the fukk past it. This ain't a watershed moment. This ain't Curt Flood or Title IX. Don't try to use his situation as a reason to argue the rule. He's even blatantly said his folks got cash so he don't even need the money. He just thought the rules didn't apply like most entitled rich kids and it's coming back around again. If Manziel really wanted to make a statement about his likeness he would've joined the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit. Instead, he cutting side deals in secret. Could you imagine if he joined that suit? That really would've brought the conversation to the forefront instead of it being hidden by ESPN/CBS like the NCAA wants.
Also, Ed is on point with the scholarships as well. Most everyone I know that had a scholarship eventually graduated. Even if they came back a few years later. It's the rare minority that drop off and become yard duty attendants at their hometown elementary. The NFL sends old players around to speak with most of the teams to make sure everyone understands the long term value of the degree. Bubba Smith talked to us.....I was in the room like "Oh shyt. Hightower telling me to get a degree"
Yeah but he's a buckeye so he can go fukk himself.
