We really gonna debate this once again? Good
lord.
1) Who do you pay? Just the FB players?BB player?
What about Baseball?(some schools make money)
YOU HAVE TO PAY EVERYBODY...including whatever
obscure made up womens sport that's on campus.It's
title IX,federal law,no way around it.
2)Who's making "millions"? The majority of FBS
ATHLETIC depts. are not. Hell,GT claimed they lost a
million in FB last year alone.The Athletic Dept at
most schools split all licensing fees at the minumum
50/50 with the school. Who does the #34 @ UGA belong
to anyway? The school or HW?It's a very debatable
point.
3) These guys are already getting stipends ($1,100
tp $1400 per month) Pell Grants (up to $5,400 per
year) "emergency funds" (up $4,500 per year)
clothing allowence as well.These are all cash
benefits that don't include tuition and books.
Up to 17K a year (not including emergency funds)
for expenses ALONE. The guys that do get kinda
screwed are freshman who have to live on campus
and can't get the stipends.
4) These players need to put these APU wristbands
away ASAP and actually think through this.
If I was CMR I'd give em a warning and then
throw their arse off the team if they kept it up.

Suits me, I would've loved to have been paid cash money to run.
There are a world of legal hurdles to overcome, but I'm thinking the O'bannon case has legs.
As far as I am concerned title IX needs to be amended to reflect the financial reality of college sports. The unintended consequences of good intentioned legislation has killed small sports like mine at schools with non-positive revenue producing athletic departments. Girl runners at most colleges are slow beyond belief. A 20m 5k gets a girl a hard look at a lot of schools.
And screw tech, those pencil necked geeks ought to go down a level In football anyway.
If O'bannon is successful, it will alter the money sports. If I was an AD I would work to get ahead of the case. It is never good when a court tells you what you have to do.
