The average is less than 2%. So saying the players are well reimbursed for what they bring into the University is a joke. Let’s not just talk about the bottom line numbers, include the PR aspect.


Agree to disagree.

If the entire world thinks these kids are worth more, how in the hell has no one offered them jobs for less?

For one thing, the Universities have a monopoly on College Football. They set the price for what the Players get from a scholarship. If there was competition from another organization, that price would be a lot higher. The NCAA falls under the guise of an amateur organization, they list athletes that way so they can justify not paying the players at a market rate, based on claiming they are just like other students.
