I don't care to fact check you but regardless, what you are saying is irrelevant. In this particular discussion, it's not the schools/universities paying them. This is talking about them being able to be paid for their own likeness, like literally every other person on the planet. So, to ask your same question, why should they be the exception in that regard? Also, even if we want to go based on your own logic, the NBA and NFL players are paid near 50% of the revenue made.

So I'm not sure why the focus is on helping them so much.</quote>Whether or not they are the most in need of help is irrelevant. It's an obvious display of unfairness that can be fixed. If you care so much about others groups needing help, go help them. And lol at JBallen. Acting like everyone else are "sheeple", literally hasn't responded to any honest point made in this topic. For the record, I literally don't give one iota of a damn about college sports. I couldn't care less if they went away entirely. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
