[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 405882, member: 959"] I’m one of the “don’t pay the players” types. I don’t actually see it as a conflict. I am against paying the players because there isn’t an equitable market system that I have seen which would allow schools to have a reasonable standard for paying certain kids amounts based on their abilities. There would be an immense burden on the schools and smaller programs to work out a reasonable payment schedule and level across the board. How do you value correctly a bench player v a preferred walk on v a guy who gets 3 minutes a game? There are too many variables to workout. Furthermore the schools should not be in the business of professional athletics. If the kids want to make money that is fine go play in a professional league. Schools don’t pay their undergrad students $ to keep the smartest kids for ranking purposes. This is why scholarships were created. That process works. It’s a trade for free school in exchange for the value the school gets from notoriety of a program or revenue from games. I don’t understand why people are so bent on paying the kids more money. They benefit materially from the development they get while in school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
