"I would not be where I am today without football," Booker wrote in Sports Illustrated last month.

Too bad for your teammates.

It looks like the Left’s cultural revolution now wants to politicize and destroy college sports.

All these people would do is destroy the business plan of the NCAA and the top forty colleges. They’d do the same with NCAA basketball as well.

Why not just dump football out of colleges entirely...let the colleges be educational units only, and then design some baseball-like double-A and triple-A minor league for football?

Typical democrat math. There are approximately 110 FBS schools. Each school can have up to 85 scholarship players. At $173,000/each, that equals $161,755,000 per football player.

Now if he wants to deduct tuition, books, room & board, and medical care that would bring that number down sustainably.

I think that the NFL needs to contribute to pay these players, as NCAA football basically provides them a minor league system of talent.

So Alabama will always be able to afford the best players. They set a record this year for the best recruiting class - beating the 2010 Gators. Even more so with more money.

More government results in far more problems

The only thing football taught Booker was to keep dropping the soap.
Down low clown...

college football died decades ago. it’s espn’s cash spewing whore, and the nfl’s free farm system — with the p5 conferences acting as the thug enforcers of the status quo. it’s not much different than your average drug cartel.

putting it under federal control is about the only way it could be made worse, but it’s such a slime pit now that it actually wouldn’t degrade it all that much.

Government Football would be a lot like Government healthcare.

Too many people in it that should not be there. The quality sucks, and it costs a fortune to keep it going..................

The universities deserve this. Let them enjoy having their income cut drastically by their fellow leftists.

Everybody knows that nobody handles a group’s finances better than the broke federal government.
