Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1752003, member: 837"] How is paying every single player the same stipend more 'fair' than allowing a star player to profit off his name or whatnot. I actually think people would be surprised how few of these guys actually got these types of deals. It would create an interesting rift, not so much between players, but between schools b/c the idea would obviously be to find some really wealthy CEOs and essentially have them bid for recruits. My opinion is don't pay anyone but let them go pro whenever they want. To me, at that point, your choice is pretty clear -- don't play a sport that essentially is a part-time job b/c you don't feel like putting in that kind of time or play the sport b/c you love it or don't want to give up the dream or think it will help you get girls or whatever. But if you favor a system where players are paid, the idea that they should all be paid the same seems like really flawed logic. [/QUOTE]
