Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 3160025, member: 780"] How is it going to hurt the NCAA's bottom line? The money goes directly from whoever to the athlete? It's "new" money outside the current system. It won't effect any TV contract or attendance at the Final Four or anything. And even if it did (It doesn't), the amount of money is PEANUTS!!! If 50 NCAA payers get $50,000 each that a whopping total of $2,500,000. If 100 players get $50,000 that's $5,000,000. You really think the NCAA and the colleges are concerned about $5 million dollars? It's "chump change" and hardly worth worrying about. And it's not coming out of their pockets. Sometimes I get the impression that some of our contributors on this board have no business sense whatsoever. Do the freaking math, people! [/QUOTE]
