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.

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.

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.
