When you are directly fueling a multibillion dollar industry, you deserve more than a $30k scholarship. When a player like Manziel is directly responsible for tens of millions of dollars going to the school, no, a scholarship isn't enough.

So the Manziel's of the world deserve more huh? What about the offensive linemen that block for him and allow him to make those plays? The receivers that get open and catch the balls he throws? The running back who picks up a blitzing linebacker that keeps Manziel injury free and allows him to make plays? The schools are just as much directly responsible for the players success and ultimately their popularity as the athletes are for the school making money. |

Interesting thought here....although not really plausible.
What if the schools and the NCAA decide to take away their "stage" for showcasing themselves and don't regularly show games? Or all the games go to PPV? Maybe the schools pare down the rosters to 30 players....give themselves a salary cap to work within? Neither side should want this...because there really will be no clear winner. |

So you are suggesting that college football become professional football. If that's the case, **** it. Shut it down and eliminate college athletics altogether. I'm curious what you think an elite college football player should be paid for a season. |

Just give them a little extra after their careers end. A chunk for each year of eligibility used. Maybe add incentives for graduation. Even if it's just a token gesture from the NCAA, at least it shows support for their athletes.
