Let them ........
(1) Get into college on their own merit.
(2) There is enough grant and loan money for anyone to go where they want. They can walk on and earn their scholarship.
(3) If a lot of these young athletes thought they had to get into college like non-athletes, they may try a little harder in class.
Over half the “student”-athletes in college now couldn’t get into their schools now without bending the rules for them.
If they want to play in college, make them earn it on the academic side too. Do that first and then earn a scholarship once accepted.
That’s racist!/s
Nonsense. That is true of high profile sports at high profile schools but that overwhelming majority of student athletes: qualify for that school, graduate, remain largely anonymous. The proposed changes that the players are asking for, however, will mean an end to this. Schools will only be able to afford a couple of sports and will simply drop the rest.
I dont believe for one second they should get “pay for play” but this is America...how can you stop someone from making money off their own name?
