like I said, every so often,.. you'll hear grumbling, then they'll sooth feelings by kicking the problems down the road.
For a free ride to college, bet your ass I would. Not to mention all the tail that comes with it. Look, I get it, it is a HUGE money making machine and all off the blood sweat and tears of the student athletes but you mark my words (and it will eventually happen because we are now a nation of pussies) When we start paying them or giving them a piece of that pie it will all go to shit and at ludicrous speed.
Plus football pays for the other smaller sports... Who's gonna pay the golf team or the water polo team... And how much
Only players in the revenue sports, football, basketball and baseball would be paid at the top scale. Golfers are mostly from middle class to wealthy families anyway. For water polo and the like, divide up the ticket sales money, take the players out for pizza and if there is anything left give em all a new swimsuit or something.
Do you pay attention to anything going on in the world today? This will go over like a turd in a punch bowl.
