[QUOTE="TampaGT, post: 40432, member: 1153"] End the end I don't think much will change. 1) Players aren't force to play college sports. They know how the game is played and on the our free will sign to play under these rules. If they don't like these rules they can go elsewhere. I think the change will be the elsewhere (NFL,NBA) I don't think they are going to be able to keep players from entering the draft. 2) Yes football and basketball make lots of money, but Tech has 15 men and women sports. There is roughly 400 SA. If you just pay them $10,000 a year that is $4 million and I just don't see that happening. 3) Let's say that they start paying SA, how can you make an argument to not pay the cheerleaders, band, and everything in between that and the glee club. I think what you might see if the players force this, that it goes back to true SA. Raise the academic standards to the level or closer to the level of all students and I think most of players asking to be paid will gone because they will not qualify with the higher academic standards. By the way I was a SA (not at Tech), I just don't think SA should be paid. I think the problem is that these players don't put a value on their Edu. I was happy playing because I was getting a free edu.
