Pay for College Play?

RAM · Post by **RAM** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:58 am

Editorial in this morning's Tennessean (online also probably, if interested) saying college athletes should be compenstated (beyond limits of scholorships) for entertaining us. At UT, all income considered, figures potentially to as much as $400,000 per player (football) per year. Hmm..some pros don't make much more than that. Also suggests pay should include all college athletes. Interesting. Didn't know, with all expenses considered including scholorships to non-income producing athletes, there was that much left over that the schools were pocketing. Interesting.
Any comments?

Nothing to worry about, education is over rated anyways. Kids graduating college today can not even find a job... better they play football...
