They can already get up to about 19k a year on top of the scholarship

Pay 'em.

Neither can I.

played my son in NCAA Football the other day and all of LSU players had the proper names...i think however, it goes to the likeness of each individual player as well...for instance, even though J Manziel might not be named...the qb on the video game for Tex A&M has his number and all of his attributes...

The game doesnt come like that

But it still doesnt represent him completely, I would also think it would be considered a public figure or something like that

The problem will be, you just can't pay football players. You would have to pay women's volleyball etc. having said that, that shouldn't come from the university. It should be figured in to these mammoth contracts with espn, sec, NCAA etc.

It would have to have a sliding scale which will make some athletes very unhappy!!!

I'm not claiming to know who you are hombre. I'm saying I have heard who you claim to be. If you're not concerned with what I say than don't respond
