It would change college football in to minor league football with incentive being money rather than the love of the game However, I think the schools could offer more incentives like Michigan with foreign experiences and broadening the learning base experience.

They are there to get an education and if the school makes money on them, so be it. If the school does not make money then all of the scholarships and free benefits will not be there. Are athletes that go pro, going to pay back the school? What school pays the most? That is where I would go.

they are already getting paid. Meals, Tuition and an opportunity to reach the NFL. A normal student pays up to 60,000 to 100000 dollars for tuition at any big school.

It would make things interesting for sure.
Replythey are the show, they are the reason stadiums in some cases sell out Saturday after Saturday, absolutely these student athletes should be paid. Student/Athletes have access to meals, clothing, tutors, etc., but some payment should be available
ReplyKids are risking brain damage (CTE) and have only about a 5% chance of making it to the NFL. A free education you say? A degree in PE is practically worthless. All the while these kids are making the school, athletic dept, and coaches millions and millions. Billions in some cases. This is absurd.
