[QUOTE="Gtswifty81, post: 677841, member: 4428"] Paying athletes in college is always a tricky issue. Most athletic associations in college are not profitable. Football in most schools is the only profitable sport so paying profits to football players would essentially eliminate all funding for other sports. The NCAA is another story where they make significant profits and also restricted athletes from marketing themselves independently for compensation. I only think a small percentage of players would be able to profit from endorsements. Even with allowing players to benefit from endorsements is tricky because you don’t want boosters guaranteeing future money to recruits who attend the college they want. It is frustrating that those who need help the most can’t receive it. With the profits that the NCAA generates, you’d think there’d be a way to setup a family assistance program for families of scholarship athletes who financially qualify. [/QUOTE]
