As everyone said before they get their school paid for and etc. They should be worrying about perfecting their skills at the college level so if they want to go pro they have the skills to do that. Paying them would ruin everything that I love and a lot of people love about college football.
For me I prefer to watch college football over NFL because these kids are trying their damnest to make a name for themselves. They are going to stretch out for that catch or take that big hit because their not worried about money or any other type of bullsh#t these players in the NFL worry about today.
Terrell Owens is a perfect example of what's wrong with the NFL today!!! He plays for money not for the love of the game. I'm not saying these players should not be compensated for the risks that they take but a lot of them worry about money and that's it. They don't love the game like they did in college!!!
