| I get it, but how do you do it? Does a school like Michigan pay the same as a school like Ball State? Does a walk on make the same as a scholarship player? What about recruiting stars? If a guy is a 5 star coming in does he get more than a 3 star? Are seniors that don’t play paid more than a freshmen that starts?
I don’t like it. They are compensated with school, tutors; which the average student has to pay for, free meals at the training tables, free medical.
The only problem I have is with the video game makers. They shouldn’t be allowed to use players images and numbers.

| As you stated any other student (which they all agreed to be) would be more than happy to be provided room, board, tuition, sundry money, a venue that is tv worthy and attendant games mationally broadcast, an enormous vocal fanbase in support, marketing, coaching and skill training, nutritionists, health trainers, a league that took years to vet to promote that students chosen after school job skills and alumni backing and assistance post-college.
In return the school gets revenue deals by its stewardship within the leagues association by rising through years of managed improvements to a compensated pinnacle (B10) allowing it to selfishly (sarcastic) compensate the best coaching staffs to grow the venture and provide schollies to many other athletic programs and their students who otherwise would not exist or be able to attend the Universities. Is the resulting alumni pride also not also a result of this process?
I suggest the O'Bannon's and their ilk create their own league or schools in the free market or counsel HS seniors to skip college as is their adult right and see what employer will pay them the money they seek in hindsight. The world is full of Lebrons/Kobe's, right? The focus on them and not the league is just going gangbusters these days, right? | |

you're right, they SHOULD be. But the status quo is quickly becoming obsolete. something has to give and it probably will sooner rather than later.

| So basically the best talent will go to the highest bidder. Great, another version of the NY Yankees... _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:

No I don't think there will be a "highest bidder" scenario. If anything, I could see a stipend that is equal across the board no matter what school you choose.
