Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Much more controllable, and much more equitable.

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Everyone who already commented believes in the same thing I do.

Chuck Siegel

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

Robert Lloyd

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Don Scott

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

Scott Ferguson

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

Dan List

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Bill Scheef

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.

The coaches can only do so much. It's the players who have to get the job done. It may be time to start looking for a new quarterback. Mahomes is not getting the job done. Just a thought.

Joyce Adkison Hudson

The coaches aren't at fault if the players don't catch the ball or drop it. The coaches figure out the plays and it is the team's responsibility to make them. The coaches are doing their jobs.

John Sunde

They don't play.

Lindsay Gant

I think some work needs put in, but a new coaching staff doesn't seem like the answer.
