20k a year for an absurdly high chance of multiple concussions.. and let's face it.. they are severe injuries. You're talking about damage to a kids brain.

Here's the nail in the coffin if this is taken to court
quote:
The Jenkins plaintiffs are suing the NCAA and the five major conferences and seeking an injunction to allow a free market. The plaintiffs want to end NCAA rules that “prohibit, cap or otherwise limit remuneration and benefits” to football and men's basketball players in those leagues. The suit also wants to prevent the NCAA and the five conferences from creating rules that prevent schools from “negotiating, offering, or providing remuneration” to the players “in compensation for their services as athletes.” The class attempts to represent all Football Bowl Subdivision football players and Division I men's basketball players from the date of the complaint until the final judgment. The Jenkins case is consolidated in California with the Shawne Alston cost-of-attendance suit. But the Jenkins case, which would return to New Jersey if it reaches trial, has been trying to work on a faster track since it's not seeking class-action damages.
