Message: [QUOTE="LeMoyneCuse, post: 2154152, member: 158"] So are you of the opinion that all MLB players should make $300,000 a year? The profits are in the millions and are created because of the product produced by the players, but the players are receiving perks that many of us never got or will never get, so they should be happy with that? That makes no sense. In every other scenario, a player gets control, bargaining rights. The best players command the best salaries because they know they're a driving force behind profits. They get a cut of their likenesses (jersey sales, video game appearances, etc.). Plus, they have the right to capitalize on their noteworthiness through endorsements, autograph sessions, etc. But college players, who people (coaches) and institutions are profiting off of massively, have no benefit of their own labor, aside from a relative pittance of the revenue they create. How is free school even close to enough? [/QUOTE]
