re: JFF on the Cover of Time-"It's time to pay college athletes"

Our schools must not think highly of the student-athletes that help promote the schools because they are not willing to share in the profits.

I disagree. Room, tuition, etc - these all carry a monetary value.

Are you willing to share some of that grant money with the students that help make it happen as well? I've seen a lot of people on here speak highly of the amount of grant revenue Texas A&M brings in; I've not once seen them say that A&M should pay those kids working on those projects with that large amount of grant money.

Are you willing to share some of the money the school receives with every scholarship student who comes in to raise your average SAT score?

Are you willing to share some of the money the school receives in exposure each time the band is shown on national television?

Or will only the Johnny Footballs of A&M benefit from this revenue sharing?
