[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 429534, member: 944"] (1) I have zero sympathy for the colleges and athletic depts who are making a fortune off of these kids. (2) I absolutely despise the idea that colleges/universities should pay athletes (or any other students) beyond their scholarships to participate in extracurricular activities. Go start a minor league if that is what you want. (3) I do not disrespect those athletes who see the current path as the only means to a professional payday in sports. The way things are today, they are right. I do disrespect those universities who decide to sell out their academic principles. So, I oppose paying college athletes. I do not oppose starting a minor league system. The SEC has already done all the ground work for you in that regard. (PS- I do also recognize that there are plenty of grey areas where some guys want the best of both worlds, a good education and a possible path to pro sports. If they are willing to do the work academically, they should get the scholarships for college athletics. But there are honestly tons of guys who have no interest in the academics and just are focused on the sports training. There should be programs set up for those guys....) [/QUOTE]
