[QUOTE="JacketRacket, post: 793265, member: 4822"] It's naive to think that the top few players on basketball, football aren't already paying some of their players, but I digress. The education is the value argument doesn't hold with how the NCAA has been enforcing it. Especially when you consider that all degrees aren't created equal (e.g. a GT degree is worth more than a uGA degree). Coaches salaries are defined by the free market where schools compete against eachother to determine that value. A student athlete doesn't get that same benefit. Even if you tie the value directly to the education, student athletes don't get to use the free market to its full extent to maximize even that. They can't transfer to a better school without having to go to the transfer portal and having coaches approve transfers. They can't even have a school reach out to them directly to pitch why their education value is a better fit for them cause of the restrictions the NCAA places. Coaches don't have the same restrictions. So, if the value of a player is 4 years of education, why limit the students from maximizing that wherever they choose. [/QUOTE]
