Didn't see that coming... He's going to stop paying taxes. Won't work .... they'll force him to pay at gunpoint. See, you DO agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. For the hours these kids put into the program, 10 grand a year is nothing. They're already getting that or more, depending on what school they're at. This won't solve anything. Now people will ***** more about how the stud RB is getting paid the same as the ladies lacrosse bench warmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. For the hours these kids put into the program, 10 grand a year is nothing. everyone agrees with you thus the slippery slope begins I predict that within ten years, certain athletes will be compensated more than ten times this piddly amount compensation will destroy schools like usf. The market contraction will continue until about 20-40 schools run a semi-pro league I sometimes wonder if the sport of football is not jumping the shark right now. With all the hs lawsuits and then collegiate contraction. It looks like a smaller pool of players and fans. usf may be lucky to play in a rental stadium during this uncertain time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But paying of student athletes, when the conference in question is a multi-BILLION dollar endeavor will always come up. So if you mean a regional league, where coaches aren't millionaires and the focus is on education over athletics, I'd actually like to see that. Otherwise it's a rat race like the one now fraught with greed and corruption and falsehoods where money rules and students citizens are a disposable commodity.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/10/22/how-academic-scandal-at-university-north-carolina-worked-to-help-athletes-other/ My opinion...

We'd go broke. Not necessarily. But if USF does it they would have to raise the student athletic fees by 4.50 a credit hour to do so (around 137 a year). I can't see how else they would do it.I don't think the fee increase committee allows for that level of increase. One of the benefits of having a huge student population I suppose.

And if you aren't in demand, you get what players have gotten all along. That lets the market decide which is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with paying players; but I disagree with the booming athletic budgets (esp. coach's pay and athletic facilities) in an academic setting This will show the larger divide between the core of the P5, and everyone else...
