But for God's sake lets don't destroy college FB b/c the NCAA should have been done away with long ago. The fan dollars is what kept college FB sustained and growing long before advertising and big time TV markets came in and started ruining the sport that Americans has loved most through out the history of college FB. All colleges should step in right now and take it all back from everybody except the fans that has made the sport a success. And if it has gone so far that colleges can't take it back, drop all of and from their schools and start it all over again, and never except the NCAA type governing of it again. KIDS feel they are not getting nothing for the time they have to spend Crafting THEIR skill to play college sports, or they're not getting their fare share. Ask the kids and families that are paying for their college tuition room and board meals of top roman and tutoring and working full time jobs how fare it is between them and athletes. They are getting more value from college sports than MOST Americans make in a year, and more than a lot of them make in two years. When they were being recruited, the kids and their parents would have signed a contract stating that they expected nothing more than a college education, and a CHANCE to make it the the next level. And if the contract would have stated that Billions were being made off them playing college FB, but they would get none of that money other than their free ride through college. Every last one of them would have signed that contract, the parents and their athletic kids, and their lawyers if they had them would have all signed the dotted line. I think there should be a contract that states that the kids that are excepted in the sport they are being recruited for will mean a full ride even if they fail at their sport at the college level. No more year to year scholarships, four years or no years. That is the only place I see in college sports where the kids are getting screwed. Take the money grabbers out of college sports, lower coaching salaries. And let college sports continue to give athletic kids that could have never went to college without college sports. And let college sports continue to be a stepping stone to pro sports for the elite players. Everyone of them won't be good enough to play sports at the pro level, and if they were, there still won't be an enough open spots for them as a pro. But they will still get a college education that 90% of them wouldn't have had the chance to get without college sports. They should feel lucky, not under valued. Only about 1 out of every 20 will have a chance to play pro sports. The other 19 will at least have a college education that they wouldn't have had without college sports. College sport gave them a much better future they wouldn't have had without college sports. Those kids are putting in all those hours only b/c they want to get better at their game. They don't have to, they can ride the pine. I may not be the smartest on economics, but I do believe that paying players will ruin college sports. And it will ruin chances for a lot of athletic kids that could have never entered college without the way of a sports scholarships. Paying players is the poison that Will end up poisoning the entire tree. There will be more hole to fill than they can find ways to plug them. You're talking about a work place of only a 4 year commitment that will be revolving every year of thousands of employees by interpreting college sports as a work place with hundreds of franchises. That bomb will explode, and it will take years and years and years to fix it if it ever gets fixed again. This is just my one of thousands of different opinions. If I were a college President, or on a BOTs, I would vote on opting out of the sports thingy altogether. One can of open worms are plenty, but hundreds of open cans of worms would be just way to over whelming for my school to take on. Again, JMO.
