So if you pay athletes do you do it in all sports? I would think you would have to. Here is an interesting article that may give you second thoughts Pack man. http://www.politifact.com/virginia/...ran-says-only-20-colleges-make-profit-sports/
Just saying.
This already happens. It would just bring it out into the lightWhat I'm hearing here from those in favor of allowing these kids to get paid is a system where donors, or booster groups, do the paying, and it's unlimited. Are you guys kidding?
I've never heard anything more disparaging to the sports, or the schools. Can you imagine Mark Cuban and a few other of his friends from the University of Indiana will pay some guys $50,000 to show up and sign a few autographs, and give them a new Bentley to drive during the year so they can get back and forth to their "engagements."
There are so many pitfalls in this whole theory of paying these kids that it's scary. You'd be undermining everything the NCAA did to get rid of the bad taste in everyone's mouth from situations like USC had.
Sorry! I've seen what happened at Wisconsin when the "booster club" was calling the shots during the Hirsch administration of sports. It nearly destroyed the entire Badger sports program.
You can argue in favor of paying them until you're blue in the face, and it isn't going to work. If these kids don't want to go to college and learn their skills, opt to go pro out of high school, and climb on a bus in Turkey, or even China. But please, don't even think you have the right to screw up college sports.
eWhat the NCAA study fails to address is how other University "programs" subsadise the athletic department for shortfalls. Stipends need to be a joint effort by the schools, conference and the NCAA.Here's my question (s)......
My basic understanding is that for most schools that it's either their men football or basketball program that pays/ supports all the other sports. How is this still going to be possible if athletes get paid from the said football or basketball program generating that income to pay for the programs?
