Isn’t the purpose of higher education to earn a degree in a field of study? Isn’t that degree then used to obtain a job that compensates you for applying the knowledge and skills you learned and studied for to obtain that degree? When did being a college student itself become the full time job? That doesn’t make any sense.

I agree for the most part. Yes, their scholarship is a tremendous benefit that most of college students do not receive, but most of the football/basketball athletes choose not to really use this benefit.

I think they should be paid, and only because they’re bringing in significant revenue to their school. I do have an issue with the amount most of them are being paid. I think all players on the team should be equal and the amounts should be determined by the conference. Obviously an SEC player would “make” more than one in CUSA.

I would rather the athletes get something similar to a pension after they’re done playing. While long term or great players (Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Shaq, Jordan, Tim Hardaway) would forfeit their earnings so it can be given to “less fortunate” athletes.

Yeah, but not one person is paying $20 to see you take a Chemistry final or talk about your assignments on the internet.

No, but please look up how much money universities receive in research dollars. While the professors are the ones who apply for the research dollars, it's students who do the work. They are paid, but it's a very small amount. My son knew someone who quit his PhD program because he was tired of living in his car. For the millions of dollars students bring to universities, they aren't reimbursed properly at all. I guarantee that they would trade their paltry pay for a full ride.

True. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. At least you give yourself more of a chance if one of those miracle seasons were to occur and you've walked murderer's row.

I hate this idea that athletes got nothing … it irritates me… they got scholarships, access to travel all over the country, they got the best training staff , meals and dorms paid for them they got to be on tv etc….. tell a ex college student with 60,000 in loans that they got nothing — I dare you!
