I guess a free ride through college isn't enough anymore. If this ever passes, it will ruin college football.


It won't ruin it, but it will make things much much worse.

The only real way to do this, is to tap in to left wing woke culture to curb it.

Why should a male football player earn more than women's lacrosse player? Just because men's football generates revenue? That's sexist and right wing thinking. If anything, whatever revenue is generated from a player's likeness should be split with all athletes on the roster in all sports, equally. The women's lacrosse player is just as important as the star running back.

You have your talking points, ladies and gentlemen. Go.

That will be the first thing brought up. Universities won't be able to afford that plus a free ride.

You will also see these kids sitting out of games and practice just like they see on TV until they get a pay raise for having a great season the year before...I don't see this being affordable especially with smaller universities.

How are walk-ons dealt with? Do they get equal pay if they aren't dressing but practicing every day?

I think if something like this were to pass scholarships are going to start being limited and wont pay for all of college...If an athlete is being paid like a full time employee, shouldn't they be able to pay for their school?

Why not get rid of scholly's altogether if they get paid? And if that were to happen it'd be screwed cause only the top players would be getting the benefits, and as a whole bench warmers would lose out on all the stuff they currently have

Edit: Or schools increase the cost of tuition for everybody to afford all these increases. Bad for the general student body
