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

There is no reason not to pay the players. Well there is one big main reason not to, and that is greed. For this to be America, where capitalism reins supreme, one would think that a industry which makes billions of dollars would pay the people who brings in most of that money (student athletes) instead of bartering with them in giving them a free education and room/board?

This is America, and capitalism reigns supreme, but if you say that the corporate CEOs, Presidents, and other executive billionaires and millionaires should divvy up that loot to the common working class, because if it wasn't for that working class working in the factories making the products that made those executives into billionaires and millionaires, then they'd be nobodies, then people would start running you down with their cars. The Republicans will start pointing their fingers at you and give you the stink-eye.

Those working class employees make enough to buy a home, put food on the table for their children, and retire with a nice pension. As long as they do it for 30-40 years. These student-athletes are given a quality education for free, to build their future careers on. They are getting more in 4 years what the American working class gets in the same timeframe. That is how America works.....
