Wrong. College football is amateur athletics and always has been.
You are arguing that it is an amateur sport, but then you show all the stipends that the athletes receive ? We can agree that the athletes are receiving pay that no other average student receives and by calling it a stipend doesn't change that it is a salary. What we are arguing about is that pay structure is totally beneficial toward the schools and short change the athletes. Not quit child labor, but the cost/revenue ratio might trend that way.

No. It isn't a salary. The students in the academies get a salary. Student athletes get a stipend. It is better than a salary in that it isn't taxed to the student or payroll employer.

It isn't a salary. It isn't a pay structure. These are people. But they are not employees. It still involves amateur athletics.

You are so lost. This thread has jumped the shark.
