re: Coaches pay is getting ridiculous, while players make nothing

Jalen can go play in Canada if he wants.

Players get paid. They get scholarships, and they also get money under the table.

When you can tell me what the going market rate is for the backup long snapper on an 85-man roster for the University of Massachusetts, I'll tell you they should be paid.

God,for the freakin 4th time,I'm talking P5 SCHOOLS and ATHLETES ONLY.WTf Is so difficult to comprehend about this?The FB number wasn't an estimate it was NCAA limit
X the number of P5 schools.You could probably add another 100 for medical hardships but those numbers aren't available. Lord,speaking of fixing stupid.

The reason I estimated on the overall is because DIFFERENT SCHOOLS HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS BASED ON TITLE
IX. All P5 schools have 85 FB,13 Basketball,11 Baseball
and then you can add more to that based on the sport (Golf,Tennis,Swimming,Hocky Wrestling etc) and in SOME
cases double it according to title IX (male to female ratio at each school).Georgia for example has more than 250 scholarship athletes because they have a higher female to male ratio.Schools
like Wake Forest,GT,Kansas State and Boston College probably have a number below 250 because they have a higher male to female ratio.There is no website I could find that gives exact scholarship nmembers for P5 schools only.You can even move those numbers up to 300
for arguments sake.

Once again,any extra compensation discussed is for P5 athletes only. The money being brought in by P5 CFB TV AND Playoff revenue has doubled and in some cases tripled the last 10 years.For example,each ACC school made almost $6.3 million JUST off the bowl and playoff payout alone (this year)

P5 is a nickname not something real. There is FBS FCS D2 and D3.

Really? Everybody getting rich off these kids. Billions of dollars nationally, maybe more, And they get a chance at a degree?, a small chance at turning pro. Practice and travel requirements that no regular student would ever consent to, injuries, concussions, et al.
The coaches that swear to them and their families they will be there for 4 years jump ship at the drop of a hat, but the athletes must waive a year of eligibility should they want to leave.

They should be paid and we should all be ashamed that they aren’t. The cost of a college degree they receive is like tipping a waitress 1 penny on a million dollar meal.

God you're dense...title IX has always been a part of this discussion
