yep, if the scholarship kid does not want the degree, who's fault is that? 99% of these athletic scholarship kids will never make any money playing their sport professionally, if they tank on the degree too, welp, that's their choice.

If kids don't like the way things are in college sports, there isn't anyone forcing them to sign their LOI and financial aid agreement.

Cool - so I'm guessing they will have a draft then, right?

I think the players in sports that generate all the money do deserve it. But there needs to be rules.
You only receive the money at the end of your degree when you graduate. If you do not graduate you do not receive money. The other sports that do not make money can eat shit. If you are profitable then the players should receive a piece for there time there. It would also keep universities more honest with their money. Make the money completely visable, players only get a percentage of the profits. Outside of your jersey sales. |

Since the big sport athletes think they deserve to get paid because their sports generate big profits, I say pay them a salary and take away their scholarships, meal plans, free tutoring, and all the other perks they get by being college athletes.

The days when we had real amateur sports are long past. The current system is filled with hypocrisy and needs to be updated. Doing nothing isn't an option. Things are going to change...we just don't know exactly how.
