These kids should tak on the NCAA, Everyone makes money off the system but the kids, for what??? A college education that will make them at best an accountant, financeer, or teacher??? They'd be better off going to a jr college and becoming a police officer, nurse, or firefighter, than waste their bodies and time with a college system more corrupt then the mob.

How about all of the athletes in sports that don't make money. How about at schools that don't make enough in athletics to cover the cost of the sports programs? I guess a quality education isn't enough of a reward.
My opinion is that we could allow the superstars to "endorse" products for money. What is the difference between that and any part time job where they can earn money to pay for rent, etc.

Under any system of being compensated, every player, regardless of gender, sport, position or playing time, would have to receive the same amount. Most schools couldn't even afford this. Even big time money schools would have a hard time. You know how many athletes they would have to pay?
The schools aren't going to vote to give up money anyway. Its not even practicle. I get a kick out of people who say they honestly believe that college players getting (legally)paid is right around the corner. It will never happen.
