Seems we can all agree that there is no “fair” way to pay players. But what if the amount a player received was based on performance? Could that work? Here’s my idea:
• All players get the same base pay at every school (I’ll use $500 per game purely as an example) + potential bonuses based on performance.
Let’s look at a recent SEC matchup between a big program and smaller program: Ole Miss vs Alabana
• QB John Rhys Plumlee had 3 TDs and ran for 109 yards vs Alabana:
- (base) * ((1.3)*(1.109))
= ($500) * (1.44) = $720.
• Ole Miss ran for 290 yards vs Alabana - so for each offensive linemen:
- ($500) * (1.290) = $645
- or for 470 total yards ($500) * (1.470) = $735
Or maybe you cut out player specific pay - and make it based on the entire offensive or defensive production.
• Ole Miss scored 31 points vs Alabana, so the players that actually played each get:
- (($500) * 1.31) = $655.
This eliminates the issue of determining how much one player gets compared to another - while also motivating players to play better. Thoughts?
Let’s keep the discussion civil and serious since this is the hot debate topic!

Another brilliant idea that the unwashed masses cannot grasp. Keep up the good work, WT

Is WT known outside this board for the heroic Bama trolling to which he is so dedicated? I feel like he deserves some recognition on another platform. Like a crossover star. Like the Jenna Jameson of the Rant.

Being a head coach at a program is practically a 24/7 job and their salaries are less than 1% of the revenue.

Just what the game needs is more blowouts.

Not true. Chad Morris is currently being paid 3.5 million a year. Arkansas Athletic Department revenue is about 130,000,000 for 2017-2018. That's 2.7%. Being a student athlete is also basically a 24/7 job. Just look at their daily schedules.
