Lastly it gives some of these kids a platform at a premier program to better their chance of going to the NFL and making millions. It is lost on me how these kids "are getting screwed" If you pay the football team, you will more than likely have to pay the water polo squad. Also, if you pay them, make them pay for their education. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It isn't about "good enough" It is about getting all you can when you can. If you thought you could squeeze your boss for 10K more a year and another week off, you would. Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) So espn should have to pay all the 7 year olds because they gain viewership and commercial time when they air the little league World Series? Where do you suppose all the $$$ would come from to pay all the student athletes on campus above what they are already paid in free tuition and gear, food etc? Housing Isnt nebraska 1 of like a handful of universities that operate in the black? Edited January 20, 2018 by Huskers93-97 Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Also if you paid athletes that would make them a professional, so they would need agents and the NCAA would probably lose control over them being required to stay 3 years and kids would go pro whenever they want bipassing college making college football meaningless Quote Link to comment

If the little league was making millions of dollars from the kids likeness, then yeah, they should at least see some of that. I don't see a problem in at least letting players make money on the free market. If somebody wants to pay you for an autograph, your jersey, or your time, what's unethical about that? And yeah, the average role player gets a good deal with free school, but the best players get undeniably screwed while they're in college. If a student on an english scholarship writes the next Harry Potter does the school deserve all of the profits? 1 Quote Link to comment

I respect what your saying, but I think college football is more about fan loyalty to the schools and that's what makes it great. Year to year the kids change but popularity does not. The NFL thrives more on star players and name players point being the platform is what makes college football great not 1 player. Quote Link to comment

Don't tell my employees that's a normal business practice. I hope you aren't hiring 18 year old kids and offering them a four year deal. If so hope you have a good lawyer. Quote Link to comment
