Unless the schools want to start paying the players straight up cash the system doesn’t work right now Shortsighted they get a national stage, the best coaching in the world, the best facilities, and the opportunity to compete against the best in their age group why do Olympic athletes do what they do? money isn’t everything guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many their careers and long term livelihoods depend on it. Cancelling the season means crushing their life long dreams. The way some people talk you'd think that universities were forcing players to do something they didn't want to do. Pretty hard for state University to say on the one hand it's not safe for our students to be on campus and on the other hand we pay our football coach 10 million a year and if these student athletes don't bring in the TV bucks say goodbye to their scholarships. The vast majority of big time college programs produce very few NFL players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
