Is there anyone here that is under 40 or 50 that opposes this? I can't tell if this is just a get off my lawn type generational issue or what because I have absolutely no issue with this and don't even see how you could be against it.  Is it really preferable that Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher are now making $9m a year and their coordinators are up around $2m to coach kids in a sport? That is disgusting, but guess what, they can afford to do it with cheap labor. Give him $7m a year instead and each scholarship kid could get an extra $25k per year. Pretty sure that seems reasonable for all parties.

Now kids like GMac could do a car commercial while in school instead of having to wait until his Senior season finished. Kids can go do autograph signings at the mall in January instead of waiting until April like they do now. Got 10 year old YouTube kids out making money off their likeness but god forbid you want to do that while being a "student-athlete". That would just be so gosh darn upsetting, I don't know how anyone could possibly enjoy watching kids play sports anymore.
