[QUOTE="Aanderson1839, post: 793206, member: 736"] Do you pay ALL athletes money? Do you pay them all the same amount of money? If you pay them, do you still grant scholarships? Keep in mind the cost of a college education today. An out of state scholarship at GT is worth $50K a year. That is a LOT of money. A Vanderbilt student is getting closer to $75K a year. So they are already getting compensated very well. They also get additional benefits of tutoring and The average income for Americans in 2019 was around 31K and the average salary was around 68K. So to say players don't get compensated is just not accurate. They are actually compensated well. If they take advantage of getting a free degree they are in a great position to get a job and have zero student debt, even if it takes them 5 years to get it. If you start paying players how are Athletic associations supposed to cover the costs? How many AA in the country are able to break even now they have to add X cost per year to every scholarship athlete? If you allow players to start making money off of their fame then it will only be the top few players on baketball, football, and a few baseball players maybe that are able to do that. And then the bigger fan bases have a huge advantage. How many uga fans would give money to QB1 on a twitch stream compared to Wake Forest's QB1? Its Pandora's box and unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
