Any college athletes that thinks they are above team with their flashy antics and me me me attitude, I hope you get humbled up quick like if you make it to the next level.

Well, if you can make money off your labor in America it’s a problem? NFL careers are typically short and rookie contracts limit salary. It’s not high school and drafts and pro careers are limited. Eventually the system has to be financially viable to survive. The college model is flawed and unsustainable. Why should coaches get paid millions off of the players labor? The failure of the NCAA and schools led to this flawed structure. Now we have play for pay without adequate structure. 2025: a college sports odyssey!

Well never mentioned anything about players getting paid. It’s the big heads they have that I’m talking about.

Deion Sanders started the extreme selfish showboating in my opinion.

Ok fair. But pro athletes are bad role models. Athletes can get pampered at any level. Now college is like semi pro. A kids ego can get inflated by family, friends and agents combined with what they see in pro sports. Team is now an employer more than a school. People generally work for money. But employers pay what they have to in a market and employment is not guaranteed. The result is ego or perceived value driven behavior.

i do agree that there should be an "agreed upon" cap. Regardless to all factors

there is always a budget and the players should be educated on what is realistic and what is arbitrary in terms of what they're asking for. This would be for their safety and the institutions safety. The QB from Tennessee has cost himself millions in terms of the hit to his reputation and it will echo into his professional aspirations. Probably didn't need to go that way had he been properly prepared. The agents for these kids don't care about those kids they care about their cut.
