Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3120059, member: 5685"] College sports are supposed to be amateur. I think they should keep it that way for all sports but football, which is really the NFL minor leagues. If the NBA allows kids into the D League from high school, college basketball can be cleaned up and will no longer be a de facto minor league. All non football athletes should get stipends for cost of attendance. On top of that they should get 10% of the non football TV contract and 10% of non football ticket sales. Because of Title IX every athlete is paid the same. Football should just go full professional. A kid signs a five year contract with a buyout. So an NFL team or another college can sign that player away but you get compensation. Since the kids are professional they don’t have to attend class. They can enroll in classes if they wish but it is not required. [/QUOTE]
