| Topic | Lol @ conservatives melting down over college athletes getting paid |

Adding to the problem by making the schools pay all athletes isn't going to help anything. I don't care enough to complain about coaching salaries because I enjoy college sports, and now that student athletes can seek sponsorships, there is no ethical question involved. Schools will still give out athletic scholarships (which was already a form of payment), and those who deserve more will make more. IMO if a student makes enough money (like well above the cost of the scholarship) then they should have to pay back the cost of the scholarship, but that's another issue. I think you have a very short sighted view of how colleges and universities run. For example, I went to a public university for undergrad, and tuition represented less than a quarter of their revenue stream, and our athletic system was financially distinct from the university as a whole. The coaches' salaries had zero impact on tuition costs and there's little reason to think that a decrease in revenue due to athletic payments would suddenly spill over into the tuition bucket. Athletic scholarships are basically just "company script" for the athletes most impacted by these policies. Do you actually think that anyone going into the NFL actually gets value out of their scholarship? They're just excuses to call these people "students". --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
