Kids on academic scholarships are allowed to work and make money for themselves and their families. Athletes are not. I knew a D1 ball player who got a job at a sneaker store and his coach personally called the manager and said he can't work there.
Scholarships or Compensation. College Athletes can't do both.

Yup. They making shyt WAY more complex than it needs to be.
But I can "see" how certain schools and boosters would act like jackasses and go overboard paying players to use their image and likeness. Still rather that than anything
Thats not really recruiting tho, thats more like marketing. For 99% of students all they really want is your money.
Athletes go for free cuz they actually want the athlete.
You're going to have tell me what is this point of these sports if they can't make money?Also, the discrepancy between the divisions of colleges AND sport-specific revenue is something that needs to be resolved.
College athletes are asked to do demanding things, but knowing the ones I saw that were in non-major sports OR at D-2 and D-3 schools, they managed to not only thrive but to utilize their scholastic opportunities.
I think there is a role for amateurism and something has to remain in place to highlight that.
...on a side note, I wish US Soccer would allow more younger players to go into club level without attending college first...we'd be a lot more competitive internationally if we could
Why does a college need a scholarship women tennis team or a male rowing team?
Why do the teams generating money have to cover the expense of all these other sports instead of just playing the players?

Most athletic scholarships are only year to year, not for 4 years guaranteed. If they enter the draft or even if they get cut for whatever reason, the money allocated for the scholarship was for only one year so its not like its lost or wasted if an athlete doesn't stay the entire time.
Most of the reason theres female versions is Title 9
...but thats besides the point 
This, I could get with.
A lot of coaches DO NOT need to be making over 3 million a year.
they should put a NCAA cap and share revenues
cause 99% of everyone else is there to fukking get a degree.
They're ONLY athletes. They're not fukking super-humans.
Dudes treat athletes like goddamn royalty for some reason.
My dude...theres students out here busting ass to make honor roll and you're upset at your time management cause you chose to pursue 4 years of workouts.
With all the money the universities and the NCAA takes in....yea they can do both
that argument doesn't make sense.With all the money the universities and the NCAA takes in....yea they can do both
None at all.
Theres no reason to intrinsically share that revenue. Cause they're already not paying a dime to attend the university. You can't have it both ways. Especially when some of those schools are asking for 20/30/40K a year.
The NCAA makes a lot of money.
And? Thats because of:
1. Football
2. Basketball
3. Baseball
Thats like saying "because you're successful, you HAVE to share the money with players of these 3 sports"....the fukk?
I mean I get the hard-luck tales, but only in college do ya'll try and coddle athletes beyond reproach yet treat any other non-college bound 18 year old as if a grown adult capable of military service.
Which is it?
I feel like that issue is so far down the list of importance...
I personally think there could be some compromise here...this is a huge loophole that needs to get fixed.
I agree with you.
don't get why these players in America need to even go to college in the first place. 
Just do what we do in Europe and let them just play for teams and get paid, fukk going to college if you're good enough to go pro NOW.
