I’m fine with getting paid some but not some of these outrageous numbers. I would like to see no player get paid until they have been there a full year. Then cap it at like $20k a year. What other college kid that works through college even makes that? Then every year you stay at the school increase the cap by a certain amount to where they can make a little more each year. If u transfer regardless of grade then they go back to the $20k. Encourage and pay kids for staying at school they committed to and give them money to live good on but not to the point of buying momma a house stuff before they even play a down.

Do you feel that any other workers need to work for a year before getting paid? They are entertainers and should be paid as such.

College sports are a billion dollar industry. 20k would inspire a competitor league to take the talent out of the college game, making college sports unwatchable thus killing the sport.

Entertainers make millions in college. I work with a kid that made 40k in retail as freshmen in college last year doing 35 hours a week in a retail gig.
Maybe 100k for p5 schools. In east TN highschool kids make 14.00 an hour doing part time jobs, 20k to make school tens of millions would be an insult.

Sounds anti-capitalist to me
