The revenue is from the fans, the fans pay because they are willing to support a program - especially winning ones - and winning programs are driven by… players! Without the players the fan have nothing to watch.

Alabama football is nothing without players, which means it was absolutely ridiculous to pretend like these kids don’t deserve to get paid. College football isn’t a charity, and it shouldn’t be treated as such.

We watch sports because the players each have a special skill set that the average (or even the above average) person doesn’t have, why shouldn’t they be allowed to pursue the greatest amount of compensation they can? Why do we treat it like they’re becoming some run of the mill accountants? Millions of people can do accounting work each year, only a few thousand can play D1 college football every year.

Just because the sport was a certain way before, doesn’t mean it should remain that way just because we “liked” it more or because it benefited our program moreso.
