And you thought you should have got paid to play basketball even though now, you aren't pro player?
That is irrelevant to whether or not you should be paid. If you perform an action, and said action generates a revenue in some way, you are entitled to a cut of said revenue end of story.

If you perform an action that generates revenue and someone else pockets the revenue, thats called pimping people out.

You got a free ride while others had to scrape their life savings together to send their kids to school.

Respectfully, you dont need shyt.

How about this. The money goes to the players who do the most for the team.

Now how happy is that locker room. It doesn't work

Hurts the integrity of the game. These are supposed to be amateurs. Corporate brings in to many rules, more control over the lives of prospects, added stress to the players and hurt the cohesive effect of the team. This can potentially distract them from their education, hurt relationships with friends/teammates, and hurt their basketball career if they make poor long term decisions for quick financial gain.

Not to mention over inflate abilities and allocate resources to players who may have more personality then skill.
For me, it'll be more like the NFL which is so corporate now.

To me, I find the NFL boring because it is overly corporate (look at all the lame Taylor Swift shyt while the quality of the early regular season games are mid af). Honestly the NFL isn't even a football league to me anymore. It's sports entertainment like the WWE, except it features football instead of wrestling. Should call it the World Football Federation since they want to build a franchise in London anyway.

The last thing college football fans want is for it to become more like the NFL in all the wrong ways.

i didn't get a full ride but thats beside the point. You are giving reasons why you think paying the students hurts the game but
Your arguments still don't address why the school is rightfully pocketing other peoples earnings. There is no valid argument for why Dean Joseph gets 100% of the profit from ticket sales Lamar generated through his play.

also If you don't want to give it to the athlete's who earned it, why not donate it to the people who have to scrape their savings together then? Why do you think its fair for the school to just keep it?

Moreover you still didn't address why students getting paid to work the scorekeeper table doesn't hurt the game, but paying the student who scores the points does. Literally contradicts your entire argument because they are paying some students. all you offer was that the scorekeeper doesn't get a scholarship, which i also proved wrong.

You'll sell your kid out.

I guess that's how you were raised.

:hubie: :yeshrug:

But we know the anti establishment lib deep down just wants to be a corporate whore for a couple bucks.
India is practically a wannabe USA now.

I dont think youre seeing how this racket works..

The ncaa Feeds the nba. Without the NBA who cares about ncaa prospects enough to pay them crazy money.

Why would you go to the NBA as a prospect having already gotten rich in college.

Why would u give a damn if you do get to the league.....
Vitamin water, it doesn't matter

OK now the NBA offers you more money but you end up being a bust.

NBA puts pressure on the ncaa to lighten or remove compensation for college players and we back to where we are now.

Someone gotta be the pimp and someone gotta be the hoe or the racket doesn't work.
Because it frees people from that exact bullshyt racket..... your path forks in many more directions when you have the monetary freedom to do so

The school invests money in the infrastructure/contracts and takes the risk on their investment (people like you) paying off. If the investment is a bust, you dont share the debt. You get free money to go to college. They are taking on more risk then you and you agreed on your compensation package in scholarship benefits to attend.

You Luke cage were not the one getting it popping. Not the star player. Not going to the NBA, respectfully. If anything the star players should get those benefits and not the support, who can be replaced with other prospects around the nation

This in my opinion creates an unhealthy dynamic and pressure for a college student. Players who are nba bound don't need sponsorships. They're going to be rich. Players who are not probably feel they should get paid but I don't believe what they're offering the team warrants it and they may be exaggerating their importance on the team

You see the vision. I think the board is thinking short term. How things start and how they end up are two different things. Yay you gotta corporate contract. 10 years later everyone has a contract and it's meaningless but the control corporations now have over players is a nightmare, making the game trash. Corporate kills games.

all these need and feel based arguments.

They earned the money, so its theirs. player stats don't matter. needs and wants don't matter.

If you're an adult and you make other adults money you deserve to be paid period. You generate millions for some guys who never played a day of basketball in their lives and supposed to be happy they covered 25k a year in costs for you?:russ:

Well I guess we have a difference in opinion on this one.

If I own a business. That makes 10 million a year I'm not paying the janitor 500k a year to clean toilets because without him, my business would be messy and I know you wouldn't either.
