  • The NCAA brings in $1 billon a year in revenue but doesn't allow its athletes to be paid. Amateurism helps the NCAA defend itself in courtrooms, but former athletes are pushing for a share of the revenue.

      It's the coaches job, college is supposed to be training just like for any subject you go to school for. How hard do you think it will be to train athletes who are getting paid and are that immature? You trying to be like Cercei telling Joffrey what to do after you put a crown on his head.

    Allow schools to set aside funds for the student athletes, at the end of their career in college sports pay them the set aside money. The amount of money can be small as long as it accounts for the long period of time students commit to college sports.
    The problem with apportioning money to the most effective players is that it’s a self-repeating cycle, where those players who have a ‘full time job’ can nearly completely abandon their school career. Whereas, other athletes have to focus on school.
    Also, how do you judge the effectiveness of a defensive lineman? There would be no fair system to apportion money to athletes proportionally without unfairly being biased by offensive players and bigger names, which get more scoring/stat sheet opportunities.

      College in the 2010's is a requirement for a living wage career. So, just like K-12, college should be free. And just like high school, sports should help pay for the free college. When it comes down to the American school system our K-12 education is behind that of many other first world countries. American youths need an associates to compete in the world market. If we continue the debt train for higher education, it should be interest free loans. By having a a higher education, youths can drive American economic growth and help dismantle the system of economic disparity; moreover, educated peoples pay back society with there works. Why are these banks allowed to increase the cost of getting a higher education with interest? Why does the American government allow banks to hinder economic growth, innovation, and to promote economic disparity? Does that not sound like a Russian terrorist plot to you? Indeed, free college would still need a system in place to fund it; and, such a system would be many years in the making. However; if the government levied the power of banking, they could hand out student loans to qualifying students. The pool of money that would be set aside to do so could gain interest that could keep the pot growing. It would be expensive to start; but, I thing that interest free loans for students would be the most sustainable way to fund peoples ambitions for achieving a higher education. And as always, Viva La Revolution!

    1 billion divided by 480000 = 2000 dollars
    1 billion divided by 3 million = 300 dollars

      How many people show to the swim meets? How many TV stations cover it? How many sponsors are advertised at the pool? How many people tune in to watch? If the answer to all of those questions is little to none, the compensation cannot be the same as sports where millions of people tune in to watch.

    I believe that college athletes do get paid in some ways. Scholarship money and special benefits are already received by many athletes at different schools. Since many athletes get full rides, or partial scholarship, it is essentially like they are receiving compensation to cover expenses for their schooling to participate in a collegiate sport. This is already more compensation than most college students receive in the first place. If they can receive a free education and degree while playing a sport that they most likely enjoy playing anyways, then they should not need to be compensated with a salary. It could be thought as an unpaid internship, where they can look at the opportunity to play a sport in college can get them a degree, and also prepare them to go professional one day where they will get paid. Either way, scholarships can get them a free education. They should not be paid a salary for playing a sport in college, but scholarships and other benefits need to be provided for their hard work and time spent in practices, games and work outs.

      I completely agree, especially for big name schools. Some of the football players at my school get their food and housing provided for them, scholarship money, and lots of clothes and other gear all just for being on the team. While they may not directly receive money to spend on whatever they want, they do have many things provided for them that help them save their own money. I do think some of them may be given a little too much sometimes, but overall they do deserve at least some of what they are receiving.

      Ali Actually regular students bring plenty of money to the schools. If college athletes start to get paid that’s gonna be a hike in tuition prices. Honestly paying college students would lead to the regular college student to be paying the athlete. If you think student loan crisis is bad now, it’ll be way worse then. I don’t think college athletes deserve a paycheck, they get free tuition, room and board, books, and meals. They finish school debt free in a society where that’s becoming more and more unlikely. Now, I say all that to say this. While I don’t believe every athlete deserves a paycheck, I do believe they should be paid a percentage for their likeness. So, if a guy is generating a bunch of revenue from something like jersey sales, then the school should cut them a check for their percentage when they graduate, or finish school.

    A couple things: College athletes are CHOOSING to play sports and this CHOICE has positive and negative drawbacks. The good: get partial to full college tuition covered while still having the opportunity to get a degree, um $15-$50k/yr IS a salary. The bad: have to work harder to achieve high level of success in both academics & sports (how is working harder bad when you are getting to do what you love?). Every choice someone makes has to assess the trade-offs. If students WANT to play sports and get tuition covered to do so, they also have to assess whether the potential hit in GPA is worth it. For the players going professional, it is often worth leaving school a year early to sign with a team, and that is their choice to make. Sorry, but I completely disagree with this video's attempts to make a case for student athletes to make some 'real' money... because often, they already are via their educational opportunities.
    Look at minor league players- often barely scrape by and may never make it big. They additionally may not choose to get a college education, and certainly don't have a direct opportunity to do so while tied to their minor league careers. College students are already often times paid [tuition costs] more than these players who also are potentially more talented individuals. Minor league players sign contracts just as collegiate athletes do.
    Is everyone forgetting the 'free' hype and advertising a player gets by being put on film or the cover of a game? Maybe the NCAA should charge the player for being their agent.
    I fail to see how college athletes have a leg to stand on here.

    ALL of the other students at that university are no longer forced to pay extra money for scholarships. Even now I hate my college since I had to pay around $1000 a year extra for athletes scholarships so that our school could be seen as bad at every sport besides volleyball.

    Of course they deserve to be paid, but they will never be paid. The billions they generate in revenue is already committed elsewhere. It's not about convincing people of the morality of paying players, it's about convincing powerful stakeholders to give up their slice of the pie. Only 2 NCAA sports actually make a profit men's basketball and football (there is no women's football).
    Soccer, lacrosse, baseball, gymnastics, skating, skiing, water polo, hockey, wrestling, track and field, etc. All NCAA sports with male and female counterparts lose money. The costs of operating these sports is more than the revenue they bring in.
    There are only 2 sports in the NCAA portfolio that generate profits. Men's basketball and football. Men's baseball doesn't earn more than it costs because elite baseball prospects are drafted out if Highschool and join a mlb club's farm system. College baseball is full of 2nd rate prospects.
    The money these 2 sports earn is used to finance coaches salaries, libraries, science labs, research facilities, university dormitories, research grants, etc. Also the NCAA uses the profits from football and men's basketball to cover the costs of operating other sports and their female version. Lots of people will lose out if the players are paid anywhere close to what they deserve.
    Eg. The reason the us women's national soccer team is a global powerhouse is because NCAA men's basketball and football players are not paid. The us men's soccer team is a joke compared to the status of the women's team in comparison to their international competition. Internationally men's soccer is extremely commercially viable and profitable. Major soccer clubs find and recruit teen and preteen boys into their soccer academies and invest in their development and training, because the back end profits are so massive this makes economic sense. Smaller soccer academies and clubs will develop elite talent and literally sell them off to larger clubs. There is a whole economic model for develop male soccer talent in Europe.
    Internationally women's soccer has no where near as much profitability and thus there is no economic reason to develop female players. This gives American women a far less competitive field to play against. Further because title 9 forces universities to offer equivalent programs for women that they offer males, American women soccer players have an avenue for development that women in other countries do not. If men's basketball and football players were paid the millions they deserve to be paid, the NCAA could not operate sports like soccer that have no market viability in the us.
    Oh and by the way if we are being hones all of the elite players are being paid under the table by boosters and bagmen. It's just six figures is nowhere close to their value.

      Diogo Sales That’s true. But, these student athletes are producing so much money for these universities. So, tell me how does Alabama get a lot of their revenue? The football program brings in a ton of money for the university. I think the student athletes should get more than just an education. The NCAA brings in a lot of revenue. Those players don’t see a dime of that money. That’s seems like exploitation too me. Plus, most of the college football and basketball coaches are get paid millions of dollars. Just my opinion.

      @@peterf4620 I agree with you. They should get paid, Millions in fact just like the professionals. Because they bring so much money to their universities and everything else.
      My point is: if all the high education was public, high quality and free, they would be getting paid already long time ago and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
      But the US decided to spend trillions on pointless Wars while their people get sicker and dumber by the day.
      Right now what I see is they are a modern version of slavery. Because NCAA is like slave owners profiting millions not paying their workers anything.

      Diogo Sales 100% agree with your statement. The one and done rule for college basketball is hurting the NBA talent pool. High school basketball players should be able to go straight into the NBA’s developmental league. High school baseball players can get drafted into the MLB. Yeah, they will most likely will be in single - A or AA minor league baseball system. Something’s gotta change with the NCAA for the better.

    Some athletes argue that they can't benefit from the "education" because they don't have the time to study. My easy solution for that would be to have fewer games/high stakes events then. You know what hindered my "education" while I was in college??? Ohh that's right an actual JOB because I was paying for tuition.

    Student athletes should get a stipend, maybe around 3000 a semester. Should be for any student athlete/regardless of sport. Where do u draw the line for who gets paid and who doesn't. Scholarships are worth a lot of money, but not all student athletes are on scholarship.

    because they aren't professional athletes. As Charles Barkley said the people who are going to make it to the NBA don't have to worry. But the 99% who won't make it to the pros will get compensation from scholarships to pursue their degree. Athletes already get paid under the table but that would set a dangerous precedent that college is for getting paid not for getting training.

    These athletes aren’t forced to attend these universities, you can go pro in any sport without attending college. They go there to showcase their talent against other athletes. If they so chose they can sit out the waiting period their particular sport requires. We don’t pay doctors to go to school and they serve a much greater purpose in the world than athletes.

    Free Scholarships plus minimum of $2000 a month. Also allow then to market themselves and take endorsements. Make it if they fail to complete classes or fail they must pay back the school for the cost of those classes.
