Paying college players is bull shirt! No way it won’t

There’s no way it won’t immediately lead to abuse no matter what sort of “safe guards” are put in place.
Big schools will pay more.
Best players will demand more.
It will get out of hand quickly.
Screw this!
If you don’t want to play as an amateur, the just go straight straight to the pros.
Leave the college game alone! Even if the best players bypass it.

The amateur sport will be over, forever, due to decisions acted on by the California legislation & then others.
It’s all about $ and the coaches are just as guilty taking $2-9 Million a year for simply leading a freaking college team. Nuff said.

Exactly. If you’re good enough, the money will be there for you, if not, make us of He college education you received as compensation for helping your team win.

Add that talented players will showboat more making more hero or goat plays hurting the team's record. It will be like every player is going for a Heisman ( endorsements ) on all plays as opposed to a consistent team effort.

I don’t think that the purpose is to pay players but reward those players for use of their names or likeness in game promos etc. we are not looking at paying a salary to an individual player while he is on the team. I believe that in some way the ‘pay’ will be based around a guys status as a student also.

NFL needs to make a professional minor league.

They relied on college football for their feeder system, but times are a-changing. Time to make a developmental league for those who don’t want to go to school and want to get paid.

Its amazing how some of the same people who pretend like they value education act like a four year free ride with all the help they could ever possibly imagine to get a degree is like dog **** on the bottom of their shoe. Almost every HS semior in America would kill for a free college education and the ones who are getting it (and their supposed advocates) are acting like its nothing at all. Guess we now know just how full of crap they are. Rescind all athletic scholarships and let them pay their way with endorsement money instead.

It will be the death of college sports as we know it.....it will become totally corrupt just like about everything else has become in our country which we have now grown to be considered acceptable......money will flow freely under the table by many more people than just the college athletes......championships will be bought by the highest bidder and most corrupt programs out there in the future .....what were these clowns thinking to agree to this crap.....must have been thinking greed is good......Go Tigers!!!!!

European soccer would show that you’re correct.
They’ve made some changes but it’s still mostly the Wild West where whoever has the most money wins. It’s the ultimate haves and have nots.
