NCAA To Stop Selling Jerseys Effective Immediately
- Thread starter Snitchin Splatter
- Start date
Students get academic scholarships that pay for everything and they generate no revenue for the schools
Hush lil man
Damn I'm late... so you're telling me no more NCAA Football???They stopped making the video games, now they've stopped selling jerseys, all just to keep from paying players. Next thing they gonna start blurring out faces and names on the back of jerseys during games
That's not really accurate

Students are getting screwed too... I guess nobody really cares. Especially when you get into the master's and Ph.D programs.... CIC is a group of schools that receive government funding for research. Your tuition into these programs are pennies compared to the amount of money made for the US government and these private companies, especially in STEM majors. The tuition paid for these programs are basically free research and development and paid job training for the sciences. The game gets colder because if you're the most gifted and talented, these same research professors will try to steal credit for the s**t you created.
The most gifted and talented make billions for the elite.... The only way around it is to pull a Bill Gates or Zuckerman and do everything from the ground up with your own capital.

I wouldn't go that far....
Schools can benefit from the research of students on academic scholarship, but the amount of money doesn't compare with the dollars regularly brought in by a decent athletic program. The difference is, there's nothing prohibiting that student from also benefiting financially if he/she does something to create revenue.
I said this elsewhere, but if a kid with an academic scholarship invents something, creates an innovative computer program or some kind of art and can market it, the profit is all theirs. Not true on an athletic scholarship. An athlete can't profit from a hit mix tape, Skylar couldn't do a modeling gig and get paid for it, an NMSU cross country runner can get her painting exhibited in NYC, but can't sell any of her work. That's not true for the non-athlete. They can take the entrepreneurial route and start up a damn business, but NCAA has restrictions on how an athlete can get a job. That's not right. If they had the same rules for all scholarships, the NCAA would make sure that there would be no future Michael Dells or Mark Zukerburgs...not on their watch.
I don't know how all the details would or should work out. All I know is the NCAA is holding its thumb down too damn hard on these folks.

Which is not an option for an athlete. If a student on academic scholarship comes up with some groundbreaking idea (ala Zuckerman or ol boy who created Napster) they don't have to wait to capitalize on it financially or risk their eligibility. If a student on academic scholarship somehow becomes famous while in school they are able to go out and capitalize on that fame without risking their eligibility. Not gonna deny that a lot of people do get screwed on the way up but athletes are the only ones who don't get to live by the tenets of capitalism while getting screwed.
Wrong. They will have a college football game (with the college names) but no NCAA namesake.

It's not really weird when you consider it's just someone else doing the capitalizing.
