Pay them. Look at what MPJ is doing for Mizzou. Mizzou regularly had less than 4K fans at games the last couple of years. Now season tickets are expected to be sold out. He’s definitely more than what his scholarship is worth.


Terrible idea on so many levels. The goal should be to level the playing field, not make it worse.

Sports are about finding who is the better coach, who is the better player, who is the better talent evaluator....all this stuff leads to determining wins/losses ON THE FIELD/COURT. The NCAA (and pro sports too for that matter) should be doing MORE to restrict impact of everything else. Whoever has the most money is not how you decide who is best in sports. Sports are not about free market capitalism. I'd personally be fine if the NCAA mandated all head coaches and staff make relatively the same salary for every school. I'd like to see the NCAA impose restrictions on facilities to eliminate the arms race.

If you think colleges are making too much money, that is a simple fix. Stop allowing the colleges to profit off it. Make all revenues go to the NCAA and distribute to all schools evenly OR just remove the money completely.

You are wrong if you don’t think sports isn’t a business. All these top players that are getting paid 100-150K to go to schools definitely are worth more than that to those schools.
