If the university can make money off their stardom, why shouldn't they be entitled to money made by their name/talent/actions/fame?

Sure as long as they are required to keep there grades to at least a B average and pay there tuition.

Tracy J England

Universities and Athletic Departments make millions on the backs of athletes. Those same athletes are not allowed to have a job while participating in college athletics (at least at the NCAA level).

Larry Ewart

I do think that with the amount of money be made by colleges, coaches ,etc that the athletes should have additional compensation. Having said that, a lot of thought will have to go in to the process

Chris Douglas

College athletes are held to higher standards than those receiving full ride academic scholarships. In being a student-athlete they should be compensated for both. Especially as influencers.

They're already getting full-ride scholarships to schools...so why should they make money on top of it?

Then the schools shouldn't get enrollment money from the state

Tim Ream

They are there to get an education. Also will have a limited number of schools with top athletes. Sometimes it’s just about the money.

Steven Huillet

This would just make another Junior Pro Sports system.

Jodi Dwyer

Only if they aren't attending on a full ride scholarship.

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

Coaching staff adjustments and player talent.

Max

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

Empty - worthless. Full - revenue. This is a no brainer.

John Shelkop

Memorial Stadium is one of the greatest venues in sports. Why shouldn't the folks in Lincoln, Omaha, and all of Nebraska get the opportunity to be entertained by any show worthy of a stadium sized audience? So much CHA-CHING!

Echo Kinsella

These are fun talented guys and should be seen.

Marcus Orillious

Let’s go!!!

I saw a Larry the Cable Guy show in Memorial Stadium. Didn't have anything to do with "sports"

I hope this is a joke. Nothing to do with sports.
