7,500 dollars. How much do schools (including A&M) get paid for television contracts ? I am tired of the NCAA making these guys look like the most evil thing since Charles Manson because they want to make a few thousand dollars. Is there any gurantee in that sport that someone is going to make it to the NFL ? The guys want to make some money, this is the USA. who cares. stop the BS. The Olympics used to be like this until they realized that people need more than crumbs to survive.
Some of these guys are not exactly college level. And I don't know why more minority leaders speak out on how some of these guys are simply used. Take some these black boys from somewhere like New York City who have never had a dime to their name and tell them we want you to play football for us for 3 or 4 years, put your body on the line and you cant make any money out of it. still no gurantee they will make it to the NFL. what if someone blows a knee out and can never play again. what if they are C students who struggle getting through college. I don't know..It seems like an unconstitutional mess...
The NCAA is an unmitigated tyranny at this point, SE! Look what happened to Coach Tressel, Pryor, and those others! Whose rings were they anyway? You give me a ring and then tell me I can't sell it to buy a plane ticket back home to visit an ailing relative!?!? What?
