The NCAA Is Under Seige

[SANJAY]

Nobody is paying anybody until they figure out how to pay for women's sports also.title 9 is a real pain in this scenario.

[theman123]

so a free college education, room and board for 4+ years, free state of the art health care, and extensive on the job training and potential job placement is not enough?

Honestly I don't think so. Think about how much money a guy like Geno Smith and Matt Barkley have made for there Universities through jersey sales and ticket sales. You don't believe they deserve any of that compensation?

what about the dozens of players who sit on the bench at the bottom of the depth chart who 99% of fans don't know about or care to see? or the non-skill positions who get overlooked by casual jersey-buying fans? (how many OL jerseys do u see at Bulls Outfitter or in the stands?)

 

and who determines how much they get paid? does Geno Smith get paid more than the Random Bum on the bench?  what if Geno Smith gets hurt? is payment relative to program revenue?

 

this is and utterly ridiculous idea.

There is more problems too, what happens when Ohio State can pay players more than USF, or whoever. I think the next reasonable step is to add a stipend or spending money to full scholarships. Maybe up to $1000 a year per student athlete. That way the have nots can afford to offer the stipend too. The athletes get an extra grand to make their lives a little more comfortable. I think to keep it fair, you would have to not give the stipend to walk ons, and if a kid gets a half scholarship, then they can only get a half stipend (remember, half scholarships still exist in sports other than football and basketball).

So NCAA players entitled to money? 

 

No less so than the Durham Bulls or Tampa Tarpons...

Minor league BB players receive far less remuneration than do College FB players.

 

Actually,

they make a lot less than that. Players at the AAA level earn a

minimum of $2150 per month in 2012 presuming it is not their first year

in the league. If it is their first year in the league, the number is

much less

Now granted there are large signing bonuses for a select few MiLB players.Approximately 50 of them vs. at least 6000 minor leaguers.

 

 

A college education costs much more than that on an annual basis plus all those free books. Maybe we should protest the salaries of minor leaguers first.

Then what about the students who already pay the universities providing the players with scholarships and many intangible benefits. With players getting paid big money, they would likely suffer more budget cuts and go deeper into debt. Especially with Title 9.

And the same old tired rant begins again.

That just a tiny slice of the pie. Hell no its not enough.

And what about the programs that barely make enough money to stay afloat now? Not offer the sports that pay?

There's not a massive economy central to those sports. There arent multi billion dollar TV deals, and bowl sponsorships with the other sports. These kids are being taken to the cleaners and treated like commodities. The fact that they aren't paid is utter ********.
