Sen. Mitt Romney says he supports college athletes being able to capitalize on their name, image and likeness. But he doesn’t want to see the most prominent athletes at each school making considerably more money than everyone else.

That literally makes my brain hurt. No wonder kids come off of college campuses believing in socialism.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

Go with it Mitt.

Romney probably drove around campus in a AMC Pacer.

“Well, as a Conservative, I would of course like to have a say in who can and who cannot be paid. I would also like to determine the amounts that people are paid. We must be fair, and I am just the man to determine how much money in your pocket would be fair, because I am, after all, a Conservative.”

NOTE: Not an actual quote. But I consider Romney a total joke.

College football is broken. The only fix will be a farm league.

Why not? Because like all leftist stooges, Mitt is governed by "feeeeelings" not logic. The university makes big time bank on the backs of these kids work, they set up a system to prevent them from even having a part time job, making them serfs to the NCAA and Mitt was A-okay with that. Give them a chance to make some dough and this puppet is "concerned". Screw him, he's wrong on everything.

The "most prominent athletes" in these schools will end up earning more than the school presidents and the head football and basketball coaches COMBINED.

One sports radio host here in my local area said the NCAA had no choice in implementing this policy, but that it would also bring about the end of college sports as we know it.

"Those unusual circumstances are, apparently, players making enough money to afford Ferraris."

Gee Mitt isn't it racist to deny the lower class the opportunity to buy a Ferrari? It's not like they would put a dog cage on the roof......

says the guy with an elevator in his garage.

Also, do you think Mitt’s comment could be construed as racist?

Just ONCE, I want to hear a politician say: “That’s not a political issue or something politicians need to get involved in, so I don’t have an opinion. Let society decide for itself.”

Absolute mong. If we’re going down this road, then let the best athletes make the most money. Why should Tua Tagovailoa make only slightly more than the fifth string CB?

Every day it is more and more clear why this Mormon Moron lost in 2012. What a colossal putz.

If it weren’t for stupid remarks, Romney wouldn’t make the news at all.

Not the governments business is what another FReeper said. I agree, though I think its a bad move to have ‘professional’ athletes in college. Maybe that horse is already out of the barn, but IMO colleges should be in the business of educating students first and foremost, with extracurriculars being privileges of maintaining competitive grades and being humble/role model students.

And he steps on the landmine....

He just can’t stop talking.

I don’t really care about the issue but many people have serious opinions about this topic, because so many college stars, fail to make careers at the pro level.

But I can already hear millions of people gearing up to dump on the rich guy who doesn’t want college kids to get rich...

Get HIM!

This may finally get him off the let’s Rino Anti-Trumper of the month list.

Mitt Romney understands what it’s like when A-holes with more money than brains try to throw their weight around...

Finally, Romney’s experience gives him insight....
