Message: [QUOTE="Dave85, post: 1751720, member: 3946"] I disagree. The players are not getting paid as employees. The players are sharing in revenue received from advertising just like the Universities. The minute you step on the court you are part of the spectacle which is bringing in the advertising. If that means scrubs play the whole second half too bad for the starters. It's not the point. It's who's showing on the screen is getting paid for their time. The NCAA could cut them a check as a profit sharing bonus. All those other issues are irrelevant. Next you are going to say Monmouth should be compensated because they helped Notre Dame become a better team. If you going to go down the path of value judgments you will never agree on anything. You make it sound like the NCAA sharing in the revenue of the tournament with the schools is "impossible" but it happens! Each school gets paid based on how many games they participate in playing.
