Life is what you've made of it.
Imagine it's 4th and 1 near the goal line and they decide this is the right time to walk off the job.
Imagine.
Kick all 11 off the team, off scholarship, send a GA to pack up their shit in the dorm room and change the locks. Hope it was worth it because no FBS team will take a chance on a cancer in the locker room that they know will throw a game.Imagine it's 4th and 1 near the goal line and they decide this is the right time to walk off the job.

Why do you hate America so bad?This is the real loss. Madden doesn't come close to NCAA. Although I'm sure EA would have turned that into a scummy loot box game too.
I disagree completely.
I think you guys are nuts.
If you could map DIRECTLY billions of dollars being made off your on field performance.......if YOU are completely the product being sold........YOU WOULD WANT YOUR CUT OF THE PROFITS AS WELL.
If you don't, you're a fool. You're exactly the sucker they want.
Scholarships, benefits don't mean shit. If you are making billions off my effort, I want my piece of the pie.
I take it that head in your ass comment hit home.
I bet an Alabama player could help you remove it.
NOT.Just pay them. Everyone, across the board. The NCAA could give up 10% of their profits to pay for it.
And make it a uniform dollar amount.
Make it so that the amount you are paid depends on what year you are in in your college career.
Higher levels get more because they create more revenue.
Problem solved.
Is there NAIA football?
The main thing that needs to be addressed is a player's ability to profit from the use of his likeness. For every game-style jersey sold with a player's name & number on it, he or she should get a royalty from it. Same thing if someone makes collector's cards with a player's picture on it, or if a new version of NCAA football or basketball is released as a video game that is obviously based on a particular player's traits. That's the right thing to do. Giving them a salary is not.
What if I told you Texas A&M made just $59,690 on jersey sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013?
