I've never been in favor of directly paying student athletes (colleges are for education, not minor league sports development), but if they want to use this as leverage for expanded athletic scholarships, medical insurance, travel expenses, more comped shopping sprees at Under Armour, etc. then I could get on board. Anything to even the playing field against the NCAA's exploitation that's gotten out of control. edit: Or something like what Idiot Wind said too. Something needs to change, dunno if this is the way to go about it but if it kicks the association in the rear end enough to maybe consider restructuring then it should be worth it Hazo fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 29, 2014 |

Chiche, what do you disagree with? That college ball could coexist with a minor football league? Or that going pro shouldn't require x amount of college?

I also disagree with this being bad for college football. Either we will have minor league teams that pay the players or we will have college teams that pay the players, but this is absolutely not a death knell for the continued existence of the sport.
