[QUOTE="TampaGT, post: 651534, member: 1153"] There are many issues outside of just the players getting paid. There is word that if the players get paid then they may get taxed on their scholarships. Another issue, regular student may complain that if the athletes are getting paid then regular students shouldn’t have to pay activity fees. I think this is a bad road to travel down, I don’t know why the response is if you want to get paid go pro, if you don’t like the rules nobody is forcing you to sign the Sholly. I think the push should be forcing the NFL to drop their rule about when you can enter the draft. I think the part that missing is that very few people watch a team because of who is playing. I started following GT because of Jerry Mays because he is from my hometown, but I watch GT now because it’s GT. If all the current players D1 players formed their own league and all the 1AA players moved up to D1 and they had a game on the same day who you watching??? I’m sure most would be watching GT. The value is in the program and the fans that follow that program. The guys that we have committed this year, is anybody going to follow them if they decide to go to another school. NOPE. How many here were excited a few years ago when Miles adruy(SP?) did the hat deal and picked GT and didn’t play here. How many people searched out weekly to see how he was doing in JC. I haven’t read the laws passed in the Communist republic of California, but I don’t see how they would have standing in court if the school and the player/parents come to agreement in a contract that they Relinquish their rights to NIL for a scholarship.
