[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 649990, member: 4572"] I don’t really think some players getting paid based off their contributions would destroy the locker room nearly as bad as some of you think. I mean, there’s already huge pay discrepancies in pro sports, upwards of $20M a year between teammates. That doesn’t really affect how teammates play with each other. Sure there will be some guys that will play for individual glory rather than team success, but that already happens anyway, in all levels of sports. Plus it’s not like players don’t already know who the stars are, and who is used to promote the team. When ESPN promotes Clemson or Oklahoma games, they talk about Hurts, or Lawrence, or Etienne. They don’t talk about the gunner that’s on punt coverages. At the end of the day, the teams that win more will have more support, and there will be more money out there for the players on those teams. I believe if players were able to make money off their likeness it might make Bowl games entertaining and meaningful again. New Year’s Day bowls used to mean everything for schools, now unless they’re in the CFP it’s just a meaningless exhibition. [/QUOTE]
