Well if you are getting paid to do something then by definition you are no longer an amateur.

Why are head coaches compensated 7 figures annually for coaching an "amateur" sport? Some are paid more than their professional counterparts.


You might not care about the individual athletes, but a lot of people do that's why star players jerseys sell with their name on the back.

High school athletes have huge followings before even reaching college some have more than million followers prior to ever stepping foot on campus.

These kids don't need your school or any school. They are only there based on the NFL rules that only allows kids that are 3 years removed from being drafted.

Its Unamerican. The whole system would be blown up if kids were not getting 10s and 100s of thousands dollars under the table.

I’ll outright say it: I don’t give a damn about the individual athletes. I support my Alma mater no matter what SoB throws on our jersey for a few years. You’re already compensated far and away more than what you are individually worth anyways because of the product as whole is what interests us.

This generation has been given everything in life from cradle to high school commencement and they act like they are Kunta Kentaing it out there.

frick it just get off my lawn.
