mgovick - you said "The truth is that the above the table compensation players receive is not nearly comparable to the revenue that they generate for a school. Their status as student-athletes prohibits them from truly earning any sort of supplemental income. "

so what? is what you do at your job directly comparable to the revenue that what you do generates for your business? how much money last year did mcdonalds make and how much do they pay their employees? same for walmart. or amazon.

And as I said in my other argument, you can't equate what a football player makes vs. the revenue because to do that you'd have to do that for all sports and the other sports aren't the moneymakers, thus you'd have to do away with those sports.

Is that fair? Is that what you or anyone in their right mind would want for college sports? To pay football players and shut down all of the other non-income bearing sports in the college world? Then you have to figure out who in college football makes what, because obviously a Tim Tebow is far more important and more revenue generating than a 3rd string tackle.

Guess what you've done then? You've created the NFL. Only in college. And destroyed entire collegiate sporting system as we know it.
