Student Loan Crisis and Paying Student Athletes


Oct 30, 2019, 12:40 PM

How many people have allowed their children to go into student debt in order to give money to college athletics? Basically, paying for another kid's education rather than their own?

I think paying student athletes will ultimately result in the fan experience being more expensive. The money has to come from somewhere and its not going to cut into Nike's, ESPN's, etc. profit margin. Like most things, it will be passed down to the customer.

Also, doesn't seem fair that the student athletes do not make anything off of some many other people making money off of them. So messy to get this figured out but they deserved to get paid something. As it gets more expensive, I wonder if financial support will fall. Donations are already no longer tax deductible...

Just let Bernie and Elizabeth deal with it. After all, they have a plan for everything, so why not this?

Donations are tax deductible.

It's just the standard deduction is so high now, most American don't need to itemize.

That changed under the new tax law.

"Donations are tax deductible."

No, they're not. Trump tax cuts got rid of that.

Didn't we ban anyone making money off of them?

Can't we just regulate how money is made by corporations off of student athletes?

Students ARE PAID for playing sports. Scholarships are a huge deal. It's a FREE CHOICE. Nobody is making these kids play college ball.

The NFL and NBA are strongly encouraging them***
