And if we compensate them fairly like giving them a cookie..a cookie!!! Isnt the love of the game enough? OMG! They are amatuers. Or students. Then why the fuck are they in a proffesional sport making bilions? Everything is exactly like a business and like a proffesional league making money except the people who are the reason it all exists and makes money. The word is slaves, not amatuers. Exploitation to the highest degree. But the woman didnt like that word. No words for this hypocricy. And van jones calls himself a democrat.

She kept on saying that the school was providing a 120k "value" to the student. No it's not. A scholarship only holds value if you are taking and passing a in demand degree such as a STEM degree. Millions of people graduate college with no jobs lined up today. A degree is worth less then the paper it's printed on for many fields in college. This is a legalized monopoly. Can you imagine if tech giants had an anti poaching policy with each other so that they can control the wages of their programmers? This monopolistic practice wouldn't be allowed anywhere else so why is it allowed in college and professional sports? Athletes need to take these scum bags to court.

The critics against athletes being paid always talk about the athletes getting a free education in exchange for being a college athlete. What about the fact that it is no longer an equal exchange? The money that college athletes generate for the schools can pay for more than 10 people to get a degree. What needs to be done is eliminate the middleman which is the college by getting all of the best athletes to join minor leagues instead of going to college. However, because of the TV contracts it will be quite a process. But in the begining stages while not having the top athletes to showcase their talents for major college programs the schools will suffer financially and may come to their senses and change theses old rules and pay the athletes so they can at least feed and clothes themselves while going to school.

We’re looking at this completely inaccurately. Stop calling them “scholarship athletes” and let’s call them what they are, as the NCAA purports, “scholarship students”. As such, let’s treat scholarship student (athletics) equal to scholarship student (music) or (academics). In this case, those scholarship students (athletics) would have the ability to work part-time, do summer internships, set-up e-commerce businesses, tutor, etc. We know that’s not possible due to the broad commitment expected and demanded to compete intercollegiately and the compliance concerns the NCAA would tout. So in exchange for the inability to earn income allowable and commensurate as other scholarship students, the NCAA should provide a subsidy to compensate. The hypocrisy of the entire system is not necessarily that athletes don’t get paid, but that the system treats them vastly differently than other scholarship students who have the same scholarship benefits (free tuition, room& board).

I went to Marquette University. When I was a freshman, Dewayne Wade was a Junior. I mention Wade because he was widely known for being a student and a family man. Following Marquette's showing at the final four, Wade enters the draft and his life begins as a NBA player on the road to a Championship career. Does anybody really think this college athlete/young father/ husband played basketball for the love of the game? To accept your scholarship is a business decision. The scholarship is not payment. When you go to the office, did you pay for the desk? Do you pay for your trainings? Do you pay for your office supplies? No. Why? Because those things are a business investment to gain a profitable return. A scholarship, a coach, equipment, classes, are there for the purposes of the student athlete being called a student. It's a false equivalence to say the scholarship is payment. A lot of them have to skip a lot classes and do not receive the same level of education due to the required athletic schedule. These grown people often earn more revenue for these schools than any other programs they have. These men, women, AI+ need to be paid.

In return you lose your scholarship and have to deal with school costs and expensive medical bills while the school you played for is cashing in millions of your play and merchandise with your name on it even years after you have left the school. The revenue and underline profit generated is nothing in comparison to the cost of a scholarship which is renewable and not 4 years guaranteed, not to mention stupid ncaa a rules that permit these athletes from working and grueling training schedules. Other students whether they are on a scholarship or not are offered co-op paid work terms, so why shouldn't a top student athlete at an elite school making billions off of his performance be allowed some level of fair and equal compensation for his legitimate contributions to those profits. It's the atheletes that are the draw that bring in ticket sales, food and concession sales and not to mention merchandise sales with their names and likeness as the main draw of the product.

Using your service in the army to gain sympathy and to be little others is unnecessary, you said you had no other choices so live with it or do something about, nothing stoped you from getting an academic scholarship or starting up a business. clearly by your words and based on facts it doesn't take much to initially join the army but a willing person who has a working and healthy human body, where as these athletes have to dedicate hours and years perfecting their craft until they are worthy to then be selected and awarded said scholarship. these athletes work to earn these scholarships, where you dont have to earn anything to join the army.

They are going to have people who can throw, run, catch, and dunk...It’s a revenue generating system that either needs to compensate the players or make attendance to the games virtually free because it’s a collegiate and not a professional game

Putting a value on a scholarship is overrated. Kids go to colleges more for winning programs than a degree. So the worth of a star athletes is far more than the scholarship he receives. why is tuition so expensive. Colleges pay no property taxes, tax on tuition, Tv revenue, shoe deals, endowement, investments, booster money, etc. There is no reason for tuituion to have triples since my time in college. Ask all these kids with a degree working in retail, starbucks, etc. How much value did their education and degrees have. FYI. I'm a former pro athlete with a degree in Economics. Didn't get me Hired. I ended up starting 2 small companies with my wife. We have no problem paying an amateur coach millions of dollars over the teachers at the college. What about those kids when the coach who recruited them leave. But we focus on an athlete. If a kid with a computer science major writes an app for Apple and makes millions we gonna take away his scholarship?

At the end of the day a free education is asset that most college students DO NOT GET. Whether an Athlete makes it to the pros or not, that athlete if they work hard will graduate on a free ride. They would have gained more than what they came in with; which is a luxury. Paying Athletes will ruin College Sports. It will create unfair advantages for certain schools who have the resources to pay more for their athletes than others. Also you cannot just pay Football and Basketball players and not violate the Title 9 law. All athletes even the ones that do not generate a lot of revenue will have to get paid. Also if they are paid unfairly a University will have to deal with a ton of litigation. THIS IS A FOOLISH IDEA! and it WILL RUIN COMPETITIVE COLLEGE SPORTS

VAN JONES... REALLY?!?! Student athletes work their asses off! Intense practices, plus maintaining their school work; these aren’t regular students! All they are allowed to do is play sports. They are USED! Aren’t allowed to do anything outside of their sport; likeness is used to make money and you can’t see fit to give them a stipend of some sort, just to do basic things like eat some place outside of the dining facility, haircut, or anything else they may “want” to do for themselves. It is definitely a form of servitude and the response is... “...their getting a free education.” The school racks in millions and the coach makes bank; yea, time for a change.

This is a bullshit conversation. Tennis, golf, baseball, and literally every other sport not football and basketbal, allow studenta to get paid. Russell Wilson played pro baseball THEN went back and played college football. Its just open RACISM.

They are already getting paid with scholarships. Some quite valuable. If they choose to forgo that scholarship to try and become a professional ball player. Most who leave early probably will not make the grade. Now the education opportunity is gone. Little or no opportunity to make a living.

Just because you are a great athlete doesn’t mean you’re a great student. They push them thru with a degree that has no value. They should make a deal so that they get a stipend as a student athlete and a payout based on your time in the program. That will keep them humble and focused until they leave the program.
