I was in favor of no payment for college players. Its college. You work your jazz off for nothing. Only in hopes that it will give you a better life. They should get the free scholarship which is already a huge privilege saving a hundred grand atleast. Like Spikes said its going to be awkward when they turn pro and dont get paid as much. That might affect their psyche in some way. Idk, we will see i guess.
A free degree from often times a well renowned institution, free healthcare from university hospitals and clinics, free room and board (steak, lobster, etc.), life changing notoriety and contacts, free on the job training and stipend money just wasn't reward enough for a 2.5 GPA ...
