| Topic | If the NCAA paid athletes, how would it be divided up? |

That quid pro quo is literally why it isn't allowed, because it used to be, and lead to people throwing games. Dude, you literally didn't address my point. Here let me ask it a different way. Why aren't NCAA athletes allowed to make money in any other way. They literally can't have a job at a grocery store. They can't sign with Nike. They can't do anything for money. How will having a job a a grocery store affect competitive balance. I'll help you out. It doesn't. In regards to your second question, a couple of things. To answer it directly, plenty. For example, a coworker of mine has a husband works in some sort of IT field. He is out of town in Denver very often, for multiple weeks in a row for many weeks in the year, so much so that him and his co-workers that travel with him have an apartment that they share. Guess who pays for his expenses, including housing and food out there? I'll help you out, not him. On a broader note, who the hell are we to limit what they can receive as payment or perks? That's about as un-American as it gets. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
