Legendary UTEP QB cashes in

So Happy for Mack he’s worked his way from Kugler ball, to a high school coach, to legit FBS coordinator.

I’ll be praying to the great god of college football named “Allah” that Gymnasium Center is fired this summer and his new replacement can find a way to pay for his buyout next December after Scott Walden goes 4-8 with another FCS level roster and brings Leftwich back home for the 2026 season.

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.

Have you never met a graduate student, or an undergrad involved in research? Between their studies and doing research there is no time for anything else, so yeah, while in college being a student is a full time job. And they don't get paid much for doing that research. Many do get a good job in their field of study afterwards, but that often comes with significant student debt. Oh, the university profits greatly from the research work they do while in college.

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.

I get that not every athlete takes full advantage of their scholarship, but that doesn't devalue the scholarship in my mind. Most of those kids will never even have a cup of coffee in the NFL or NBA. and most of those that do will need a career after their time in professional sports is over. A free education is an invaluable gift, and those that are smart enough to take advantage of it reap considerable rewards.

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.
