Hell will literally freeze over long before the U.S. Department of Education ever allows this to happen
are you serious? the DOE doesn't regulate college athletics. or are you just one of those federal govt. haters that make shite up and convince yourself that they are true.
Are you really this fricking stupid, or have you never heard of Title IX? Seriously...are you really this clueless? Do yourself a favor...do a little research and actually read up on Title IX. Then, just maybe, you won't look like an idiot the next time you decide to wade into this discussion.
The DOE doesn't regulate college athletics? No, dipshit, the DOE only regulates every federal dollar that your school and mine get from the federal government. Federal grants. Federally funded student loans. How long do you think LSU's doors would stay open if they didn't get any federal dollars?

Dear Alabama fan, what choices do these "students" have. There is only one option-the NCdoublea$$holes. That's it. There is no competing college athletic organization. Further all colleges are caught by the short hairs by the fed gov, no exceptions.
Most LSU fans really are smarter than this, aren't they? Really, it's just coincidental that we somehow managed to find two of the few morons here in the same thread, right?
I will, however, give you the fact that Title IX does, in fact, have colleges by the short hairs.

Oh Lord you're one of those people. Common Core is not instituted by the federal government, it was an initiative developed by the National Governors Association and promoted by the DOE. It's not a communist plot
it's dangled in front of districts and states with a carrot that carries tens of millions of dollars ...

I'd think not being $100,000 in debt from college is good enough payment for the athletes.

all bs aside, this ... let's just end scholarships and play ball ... then all those "abused" hs players can go straight to the nfl or whatever league they want and make their living ... because lord knows, it's not fair to provide housing, meals, free education and future connections for the glorification of all that collegiate sports involves ... the poor, abused collegiate player needs to get paid, too ...

Debate. Don't, it is not your strong suit.

Someone would have to bring up the economics of college athletics after the season starts. I was just starting to put all this crap aside and enjoy watching football.
Taking a close look at all of this, and then adding in the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit and Mike Slive's constant saber rattling about separate rules and possibly schedules for the Big 5 conferences, it all just makes me shake my head. I just know I'm trying to enjoy college football right now, because what is happening is NOT sustainable. The money. The unchecked power. The greed.
If the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12 and ACC keep going down this path, I think it will end in a bad place with a lot of cancelled football programs. That and many, many lawsuits covering a number of issues.

Stop trying to teach dumb arse people complicated concepts. I have tried to teach them using the same arguments and they will never understand.
Not to mention a football scholly at a sec school has been valued to be worth around one million over a lifetime by multiple sources. But....the poor college kids!!!!

The NCAA don't need to distribute a penny to any athlete; all they have to do is turn a blind eye to the boosters; problem solved.

From what I gathered from the article and the first page of responses, the basis for paying athletes among NCAA sponsored events is purely blind optimism and ignorance.

True, but the O'Bannon trial could still at least partially open Pandora's box. Depending on how that shakes out, and what the Title IX implications are, there could still be trouble ahead.
