re: According to Wolken, among the PAC-12 players’ demands is 50% of the league’s revenue

So at most 4-5 people at each stadium? I can only think of the dumb championship belt guy for LSU.

T-Rex kid was at least funny

Post 1984 this might be the most delusional thing ever posted on any CFB Msg Board

You know less than nothing about College Sports

All the ADs are juggling schedules to try to save the TV Money and you think "donors" are the straw that's stirring the drink

Sad & pathetic

Saban makes more than $200K base from the Athl Dept, he probably gets $2 million from Nike, $3Million from Coach's Radio & TV Shows, more from camps , etc, but to make it seem like donors are paying his yearly salary doesn't tell the entire story

---

You think he gets $3 million from a coaches show?

The part you aren’t getting about all these other schools taking them


No they won’t if they make the same demands

So if the pac 12 says no,, then the sec is going to say yes to this. No fricking way that will happen

Dumbass fans like you are going to kill all sports all together

Was using that as an example of how the HC is paid

Not nearly as idiotic as the HC makes on $200K from the Athl Dept and the other $8.8 million coming from donors which is what the guy I was replying to was suggesting

---

I was the guy you were replying to dumbass. And the $200k is fact. That is about the amount the school itself actually pays. I forget what the exact number is and it's been a few years, but I doubt it's changed that much.

The Crimson Tide Foundation, a non-profit organization, pays the rest. It's heavily tied to the school and all athletic parts for obvious reasons.

Feel free to donate. Click the donate link, then from there you can even specify exactly what area you want your donation to go to.

The Crimson Tide Foundation

Beyond that, college sports is non-profit in itself. The overwhelming bulk of the money is put back into the program and to the benefit of the players.

You are just stupid. You get proven wrong over and over and you don't stop. Ignorance can be fixed, stupid can't. Unless by some weird chance you ever thought to shut the frick up and listen for a minute.

If the frontline participants get bachelor's Degrees while the HC gets $9million per year, then that's a shitty system in need of a major overhaul

For you to not see something that's so obvious makes me wonder where your moral compass is and where is your sense of right & wrong

Now I can understand why so many around here defend confederate monuments

---

$9 million per year for 1 position. If you take that and divide it up among the 85 scholarship players, it comes out to $105,882

That is less than the value of a football scholarship/benefits at Alabama.

Meanwhile Saban has to run the entire thing. You obviously aren't in management at the McDonald's you work at or have any understanding behind the stresses of management.

You can't even use proper capitalization yet you constantly insult other's intelligence when they consistently prove you wrong.

It's literally like talking to a 12 year old and what they think the world is about.

Because ain't nobody who has worked a real job or had to make their own way in this world that would ever think that kind of bullshite.

So the players sweat, toil, break bones and get injuries that will impact their future Health, they also get a debt free bachelor's degree, while the HC gets a $9million salary and an 8 figure buyout, with no room for the Athlete to EVER NEGOTIATE BETTER TERMS, the HC gets to negotiate better terms , but not the Athletes that are raising 98% of that Money, ethnicity is immaterial to this discussion, even if they were all white they'd deserve to get larger Stipends

You should start a professional league for 18+ years of age football players.

If the student athletes aren't getting what they are worth, someone should be able to pay them.
I'd love that someone to be you (or are you like all other commie bastards looking for ways to spend someone else's money all day).

Free market is there. The players don't have to agree to be amateur athletes. I say let them go pro (or maybe you should start bitching on an NFL board about their rules which make 18 year old professionals not viable).

If he was smart, he’d attack the NFL’s draft eligibility requirements, not a college giving guys a free education, lodging, food, clothes, training, medical care, exposure, etc.

College football fans are not fans of players. They’re fans of the schools for which players play. If a new league was formed to pay 18 year olds to play football, college football fans would still follow their college teams. Minor league baseball, the NBDL, and any other minor league athletic organization makes no money. They are subsidized because they wouldn’t make a profit otherwise. That’s why every pop-up football league ultimately fails. No one cares about those leagues.

College athletes should be grateful they’re given the lives they are for 3-5 years they’re in school instead of riding buses and staying at motels while making the salary of a wal-mart greeter. I don’t think they want the life of a minor league baseball player because schools can not afford to provide them what they do now if they’re also paying them a salary or sharing in their revenue. It’s simply not possible.

Would you say CFB has been beneficial or harmful to the black population in America?

---

Very fair question and I AM GLAD YOU ASKED IT

Being beneficial or harmful to the Revenue Athletes is not the issue here, I have clearly written that white players in the Revenue Sports deserve larger Stipends also so don't make it just about the Black population, although I will admit when those with less freedoms & rights are the Sports that are Majority Black, there is a racism component that must be considered

Freedoms?

Rights?

Yep you heard me correctly, all the Coaches & Admins are allowed free market negotiations in good faith to maximize their pay while the Players are left to deal with an antiquated, quasi racist NCAA Amateur Model that offers no rights to negotiate better terms in any way, in any BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY, it isn't just that the frontline participants don't have any ability to negotiate better terms for themselves

Regardless of the "benefits" of big time College Sports, there is room to improve and be more fair to those that generate the lion's Share of the Money

Bama's Athl Dept grossed $148 million last year, you want me to believe it was all Saban's genius, and he deserves the full $9 million?

Out of that $148MM , why not set aside $6MM for the revenue Athletes and give FB & MBB the same $60K each, is that so ridiculous, I know about T9, bad Laws like T9 are made to be adjusted

I noticed in your question above you failed to mention the backdrop of big time college Sports, the 70 P5 Colleges will gross $5 Billion combined among them

Of course big time College Sports benefits Blacks, but with 5 Billion floating around the Top 70 College Athl Depts it could benefit All Revenue Athletes (even the white ones) in a manner that is more fair economically ---- is that such a bad thing?
