If they seriously consider this and it happens all of them need to be publicly flogged in the streets. A lot of kids depend on athletic scholarships to go to college, but fuck them right?

Any kid who is in college and completely dependent on being a successful professional sports star to make it in life is already royally screwed. That's like buying everything on credit cards and just waiting for that winning lottery ticket to pay it all off.

https://leagueside.com/chances-of-going-pro/
Lets focus on football. There are 1,093,234 high school football players in the United States, and 6.5% of those high school players (or 71,060) will play in college. The drop off from college to the pros is even more dramatic: only 1.2% college-level players will get drafted to the NFL. Even then, being a successful professional athlete is yet another hurdle to tackle. In short, roughly 853 players (0.00075%) make the pros each year out of an original population of nearly 1.1 million high school athletes. To put that number into perspective, thats about the odds of getting struck by lightning at some point in your life.

Many seniors would miss out on it. Not everyone is on the ESPN 300 list. Those are the guys getting early offers.

I know the stats...Im a high school teacher/coach. Its not about going pro. A lot of poor kids need athletics to even get to college. Ive had several former athletes, who without athletic scholarships, would have never earned a college degree.

so given the comparably low graduation rates of football and basketball players in particular relative to other athletes (and the associated high income schools derive from those programs) do you support paying student athletes in programs that earn money for the universities?

No, because the programs that make money mens basketball and football support the rest. They should be able to make money off their likeness.

Yup, though college relies on high school for recruitment so I doubt college or NFL would remain at the same level.

Lol so the consensus is,fuck kids and their sports, even though its proven time and time again how effective sports are at boosting graduation rates of at-risk kids, and offers a way for kids from poorer backgrounds to go to college. I knew you guys were a bunch of leftist academics, but its obvious you could care less about kids losing out on opportunities. Pathetic...

many of the at risk youth I volunteer with are raised by grandparents or elder relatives you dont seem to care and want them to be orphaned when the elderly die of Covid due to the disease and over crowded hospitals. How sad and gross. Get help.

We already know who the vulnerable people are. Those are the ones who should be quarantined.
Demanding that young and healthy athletes, who are extremely unlikely to even be affected, cease all activity for the sake of diabetics and grandmas, is just absurd.

Unless there is a drastic turnaround in the numbers there is absolutely no way team sports at the high school and college level are played this Fall. And I have serious doubts about what the NBA and MLB are doing. The NFL is maybe the only league that happens in 2020 and even that will probably be abbreviated.

Again, we could just pay for their college. That IS an option. Having black kids damage their bodies permanently to receive a scholarship is not the only way to organize the world. The facts that we make college incredible expensive and because we segregate black kids into crap schools and neighborhoods as much as we did in the 60s and are why kids feel the need to play sports to get scholarships and have no other options. We could fix that, but based on TC's posting history, he'd consider that Venezuelan Anarcho-Communism.

Only about 8 colleges actually make a surplus from their athletic programs. Every other school loses money.
