Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5613945, member: 10113"] You alluded to there being fair reasons why college players get a fraction of the revenue the pros get. This is true. And revenue vs profit is the key. The biggest reason by far is the average pro team gets $450 million annually from their TV revenue where the average power 4 team gets perhaps $50 million. (Also a few extra home games). So no pro football teams ever lose money even if they don’t have big crowds. Conversely, only 30 or so of 134 college programs actually turn any profit. So most college players actually get a higher share of the PROFIT than pros, but a lower share of the revenue. [/QUOTE]
