re: Does it bother you to see ESPN profit off of college players?

Players need to be paid

this issue has been hashed out a lot and it appears there is a strong feeling for payment of some sort. in fact, the ncaa passed a resolution or rule or something a while back proposing a stripend. there are HUGE problems with this in many colleges; most which are barely hanging on with their football teams now and have to use state money to do so. remember, football is but one sport on campuses and they already pay for most of the others. you pay jff (who i understand comes from a wealthy family) and you gotta pay every athlete on campus. the real question is whether college sports are amateur or professional sports. it seems many want that distintion to evaporate. you can't have it both ways. maybe the nfl should just have a minor league system, like mlb. that would stop all of this so said "exploitation".
