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 is everyone making the jump to colleges paying the athletes? That's not what these bills are about.

They don't read the articles. But the first response is right. No female college athletes will ever make money off their likeness or name. A few male athletes will get rich. Most will get nothing. The disparity, despite being absolutely fair, will cause outrage in some circles.

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

Sounds like you answered your own question.

It will ruin your altruistic idea of college football.
The law doesn't mean paying players - it just means allowing them to make money off their likeness. Personally, I think this is a constitutional right.

Cool.
There’s like 0 public NY institutions that have sports programs (football and men’s hoops) that matter

NY wants the taxes associated with this; they DGAF about college athletes

It will ruin college football for sure. It will ruin most sports programs at big schools.
As soon as "MALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS" start getting paid, rest assured the Feminazis will demand that women are paid an equal amount, irrespective of the profitability of their sports.
Small college games are already more tolerable than P5 gamedays. The atmospheres are so over-done and the whole situation is so over-hyped and over-sold.

There are a whole bunch of yahoos in this thread who didn't read the article and seem to have no idea what this is about. Colleges aren't going to pay a dime. "Feminazis" will be free to sell their autographs, photos, etc. just the same as men will.
In New York, this is a huge nothingburger. Syracuse basketball players may be the one exception.
