Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 3009696, member: 2531"] The amateur status of college athletes does make their respective sports more profitable. You’re right. That’s a fact. However, the difference between a great coach and an average coach is worth more than a couple million for a major revenue sport. In Dabo’s case, it worth significantly more than $9 MM. That part of your argument is where you lose me. Think about how much money and value winning (and being in contention to win) titles can bring into a university. But in the first point, it’s also worth knowing and recognizing where the ‘extra’ money goes. It goes to back to the university (benefitting students) and into non-revenue sports. It’s not exactly going to a bad cause, and though it’s true that the benefit to the players isn’t what it could be, it’s still a good deal for the revenue athletes (otherwise they wouldn’t play).
