re: Coaches pay is getting ridiculous, while players make nothing

If football players were good enough to play in the NFL straight outta high school, like basketball players are with the NBA, then the NFL would be drafting them. They've drafted high school players before.

Otherwise college players develop and learn how to play football enough to earn tens of millions in the professional ranks, thanks to their time in college.

And those who don't develop well enough, are still given a college scholarship for free that they can turn into a career livelihood as well, if they know what to do with it.

And the vast majority of revenues earned by CFB programs are put straight back into facilities and other amenities that specifically benefit those student-athletes that helped generate it: to look at all these huge FB stadiums, state-of-the-art IPFs and now the latest rage in FB Ops facilities, and say that players aren't already "getting paid", is being a bit disingenuous....
