So do you agree athletes in sports that lose money should have to pay to play ?


They would have to by law

pay athletes then we will only have a few college sports and then the rest would be shut down .


All athletes currently get paid the COA stipend and I don't recall any school dropping non revenue sports when it's was implemented.

Once again,revenues are pouring into P5 schools from CFB TV and playoffs not to mention college basketball revenue and schools are spending millions on coaches salaries,administrative asst,jumbotrons,buyouts,facilities etc.

Who the hell's opening the Pandora's Box though? Every single off-season we are bombarded with threads like this. Journalists, sports writers and talking heads rehash this shite over and over.

I rarely see the actual 4-5* athletes go to the media, hold a press conference or even grant an interview to publicly express their mad desire to get paid.

The OP said "players feel they are so deserving to be paid"....where are the players saying this?

There is no good way to pay athletes. Most of them cost the university money . Paying all athletes does make anything fair when only football and men’s basketball make much money for the university.
