[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it’s cool for the mostly white male coaches to get millions and the schools to get hundreds of millions, but the athletes, many of whom are POC and/or poor shouldn’t get any of the revenue they create because it might make their connection to the school more … tenuous? I see you.[/quote] People don’t watch college football and basketball to see the athletes or to see the game played at the highest level. They watch because the players represent the school and the community. They live on campus, they attend classes on campus, they share the campus experience. The fans love the campus, not the players. When that is lost—and it will be once student-athletes are paid—“college” sports will become just another professional sports league in direct competition with the NFL and NBA.[/quote] Schools comfortable in that belief can opt out of paying. Those fans can enjoy rooting for the laundry. [/quote]
