re: BOOM! WSU's Response To Players That Support PAC-12 Player's Demands

What you call "entry level positions" another person calls them the centerpieces and the frontline labor in an Entertainment Enterprise that grosses $5 Billion Dollars among the 70 P5 Colleges

It is all about perspective, most intelligent people would say that my perspective is likely to be more fair

Those Coaches don't gross that $5 billion by themselves, the money has become so great that a free bachelor's degree just isn't enough, sorry pal time to evolve

They're asking for tens of millions of dollars no matter how you want to slice it. That's simply not possible, and they know that or should know that. The TV contract alone with the Pac 12 is 250 million a year divided among the 12 schools. If you eliminate 20+ million from the budget of any athletic department, they won't be able to cover even close to all their expenses without eliminating all their non-revenue sports. So what these football players are demanding is selfish. They want to get paid at the expense of the hundreds of other student athletes at their school. frick them and their demands.
