That's all that matters to these "players"
Skip the plays and the refs and just let them fight over the money like dogs.

I hate the current system. The portal & NIL sux, IMO.
I said before it happened that it will make college football worse and I was not a fan (unless it brings A&M a championship...yes I am a hypocrite.)
PSU just lost their back-up QB before the playoffs to the portal. This will most likely happen more often now. And don't even get me started on teams losing players that are not in the playoffs.

Lol, well they have always been paid. Four year free ride is worth a lot of money for a few hours a week and playing a game. What did you get paid when working during college? Of course, few are wanting an education and generally don't get one.Logos Stick said:

OP- if they didn't pay you, would you go to work?

40+ hours a week to generate billions in revenue for a corporation? Sounds like a job to me

Pie in the sky - these are students who are playing a game. They have always been paid, sometimes above the table through things like scholarships/room & board, etc, and other times under the table (our own job scandal in the early 90s, OU's car dealership thing, etc).
Prior to NIL, there were limitations on these kids' earning potential that were ridiculous. But now we've gone in the opposite direction where kids are getting millions (apparently). We might as well just start referring to college football as NFL Minor League.

You might take another look at my username and take note of the U. Perhaps you should quit being a dick and step up to the plate.ahpetty33 said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:It's not a job.ahpetty33 said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Playing college football is a job?Quote:

And any attempt by you or anyone else to 'limit' their earnings based on whatever offends your sensibilities is illegal. I guess you can just be mad about it

If the players are not students why wouldn't I just watch NFL? It's just a pro team with a school name on the Jersey.

Why would a dog fight over money
I think we should put a pile of gold chains and jordans instead.mulch said:

What you're saying is that it's always been a job, they were just underpaid.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:It's not a job.ahpetty33 said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Playing college football is a job?Quote:

It's not work it's a game. They are not employees they are students, and they are paid in the form of tuition, books, tutors, food, training, housing, training, medical, etc.Logos Stick said:

If it's considered a job is really irrelevant and not central to the argument. It's a Supply and Demand principle and is irrelevant what we call the subjects.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Playing college football is a job?Quote:
