Only if the payees throw away the pay.

On average a college degree earns about $1.2 million lifetime over a HS diploma.

You have face value, and real value.

Some athletic directors make that in a year, who would otherwise make $60k without football players.

The NCAA became a commercial entity and once that happened it was always going to lead to where we are. Want to end the charade get rid of everything commercial about the sport. However that will never happen so we are where we are.

Let’s also not act like the majority of these kids are in it for an education. They all think they will play in the league.

For sure. Understood.

That shouldn't mean they deserve more money up front.

They deserve money because all the adults are splitting up billions while they get an empty class chair, meals and a dorm room. They get the same as as someone who gets an academic scholarship but people aren’t making billions of dollars off watching them study.

I think the billions is a bit overstated..Is it billions in revenue or billions in profit?

“The Big Ten has completed a new seven-year media rights agreement with Fox, CBS and NBC that is set to bring in more than $7 billion to one of the nation's most powerful athletic conferences.”

That’s from an article from 2022.

And that’s only 1 conference.

You lost me.

Analogy: What Musk makes should have zero bearing on what "I" make working for him.

The academic schoraship prepaid and deserves more at an academic institution.

The athlete is paying in real time because they only work in advertising.

Doesn’t matter. Without those players they don’t get that deal. As I stated earlier…the ncaa was ruined as soon as they started viewing themselves as a commercial entity. The NCAA that a lot of people seem to fantasize about never existed. Now it’s just out in the open.

If the NCAA was about amateurism, it never would have been commercialized. Want to fix things. Take all games off of TV. No sponsorships. Nothing. Then you get an entity that is closer to rec sports than the nfl.
