[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 817278, member: 2426"] I did. I didn't make money from being a movie star or rock star. I did work a co-op job. I have had a pretty decent career. If Coke had offered me $100k to do radio ads for them, I would have. It wasn't something that I pursued, nor have the voice for anyway. I wouldn't have had anything against any student athlete or not, if they had a good voice and were offered such an opportunity. If someone I knew had been offered such an opportunity and turned it down because they didn't think it was fair to the rest of us students I would have told them they were crazy. I am still confused about what point you are trying to make. It went from students don't get paid by GTRI, to students don't get NIL money, to whatever we are at now. Is your point that athletes have more valuable name recognition than normal students? Is it that athletes shouldn't be paid more for their name recognition unless every student gets a cut of it? Were you trying to say that athletes are the only ones who get scholarships or any payment? I don't see a central point of this discussion. [/QUOTE]
