[QUOTE="Techster, post: 980639, member: 360"] This is the new reality: College SAs are getting paid, and they want to get paid. If you can't deal that, you may want to stick with High School football, or lower level college sports. I promise you, even at that level, players are getting paid. If you don't think college players haven't gotten paid in the past, whether under the table or some other means, there's plenty of articles out there proving otherwise. At least with this system a school like GT that tries to do things the right way has a chance. You can either stick your head in the sand and pretend it's not happening, or you can accept it, and figure out a way to help your favorite team move forward with success. Personally, I'm happy that college SAs are maximizing their earning potential. Most schools do not care whether SAs earn their college degrees, they mostly care that SAs are staying eligible so they can make schools money. Players might as well leverage that for some financial security while they still have the leverage. Be proud that we're fans of a school that genuinely cares for their SAs. There will come a breaking point with all of this soon. GT, and similar programs, are currently stuck between two worlds. A world where we want to compete in Power 5 level sports, and world where the cost of Power 5 sports causes a wholesale change in how we've been willing to operate. Something tells me the complexion of college sports will be altered forever very soon, and GT may not be the same GT we've grown to love. [/QUOTE]
