Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 2327439, member: 204"] I'm not sure I understand. My biggest problem is that the value of education is so discounted when this topic is raised. My second biggest problem is presumption that the individual players drive the income. In fact, it is the program - the brand itself - that drives the income. But that is another discussion. Suppose it is decided that college players should be paid. Do we eliminate scholarships and require the player to pay tuition? If not, does the walk-on player who gets no scholarship get paid? What about the scholarship player who does not play/letter - should he get paid? Should a spot player be paid the same amount as a star player? Should there be a salary cap? Do all college athletes get paid? It may have visceral appeal but the application would seem unworkable. [/QUOTE]
