Kirby flat said he does not believe players should be getting paid. Those are his words no one else.
Words if Kirby Smart.
What I can't accept is some young man getting $10,000 a month for four years or three years of college? That's $120K a year. What do you think he's doing with that? Is that actually gonna make him more successful in life? Because, I promise you, if you handed me $10K a month my freshman year of college, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. I believe that."
But it’s ok for him to make millions but not the players. Hmmm
Kirby's stance is the same stance taken by the NFL [a very, very large institution that refuses to pay 18, 19, and 20 year olds because they (a large enough percentage to matter) won't handle money well. And when they don't handle money well, they will be in police blotters and lawsuits. And that tarnishes the shield].
Knowing the problem, we have dedicated resources on top of resources to help the student athletes for their own benefit.
The NFL still hasn't caved in for some reason.

This is factually wrong. The NFL don’t pay 18,19 and 20 year olds because if a rule that is meant to protect them safety wise. It has nothing to do with money. You also have to be out of high school for 3 years before eligible for the NFL. Rookie contracts are large sums of money and the better the play the more money they get.
If you graduate at 17 years old, that means you must wait until you are 20 to enter the NFL draft. If you graduate when you are 18, you will need to wait until you turn 21. This rule helps ensure that players are physically and mentally prepared to be part of the NFL.
