The players who actually do the work and draw the fans are told "sorry kid but since it's an amateur sport we can only give you a $20,000 a year scholarship." Then they pay the coaches 8 million a year!!!
Ohio State AD sounds off on ‘ridiculous’ salaries paid to Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher
feb 6 2018 Ohio State AD sounds off on ‘ridiculous’ salaries paid to Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher
Suffice to say, Gene Smith is not a fan of the most recent spiraling upwards of coaching salaries in college football.
In prying Jimbo Fisher away from Florida State, Texas A&M is signed their new head coach to a 10-year, $75 million contract. In 2017, Nick Saban was paid $11.2 million, $2 million of which was deferred compensation, on a contract that will pay the future Hall of Famer an average of just over $8.1 annually.
Even for a man in charge of one of the most profitable athletic departments in the country, those numbers are unsettling. Or “ridiculous,” in the words of Smith
So the university recruits a kid, tells them they will pay for the kids education, teach them how to play a sport, the kid agrees that he will not be paid cash but in the form of an education and this is now not a good deal for a the student who may not have a way to college to begin with?

Detention, Not RetentionWhat is the value of the education they get?
They don't get an education. Playing big time college football is a full time job.
You just keep opening your mouth and I’ll keep stuffing your foot in it. Over 75% of players from big time college football schools graduate.
More and more college football players are graduating, but only at bigger schools
When it comes to big-time college football, more and more of the athletes are completing their degrees and graduating. But that same trend is not seen at lower levels.
The NCAA released federal graduation rate data showing that in 2009, 63% of FBS football players and 62% of FCS football players would go on to graduate. In 2017, those rates were up to 78% and 76% respectively. In FBS, the graduation rate was relatively unchanged in the seven years previous to 2009, ranging from 63% to 67%.
The Chinese Bound Girls' Feet, Academics Bind Young MindsThey don't get an education. Playing big time college football is a full time job.
Really? You could check with Barrett Jones. He started for 4 years at Alabama and graduated Summa Cum Laude (4.0GPA). Oh, and he was part of a team that won 3 National Championships. Barrett started at a different position on the O-Line for each.
.
HAHAHA. One instance out of millions doesn't prove anything, you fool. And besides teachers at college are told to "help" the star athletes. For all we know, jones can't even read. THINK

Hey einstein. Everyone agrees the kids are paid SOMETHING. But it's nothing like what the coaches are paid. Is it that way in the NFL?

The way the colleges have degraded everything, a degree is nothing to be proud of. Proof of how unnatural this system is, in my day the rulers had to threaten students with death in Vietnam if they didn't hide away in college, sucking their thumbs and living like slackers who were afraid to grow up.

So you just want to pay the coaches for an education? Don’t think you will attract talent that way. THINK!

They do not get the full cost of schooling which is pretty sad considering what they bring to the University. I have to think about Curtis Enous as he had to sit out his final bowl game because some one bought him a suit to wear at the Heisman ceromoney. I worked with his mother at the state. For all he did for his college a simple cheap suite should not be to much to ask. I do not think they should be given millions but enough to live off of while at school at least!They do. Think. They get an education, a place to live...many more perks.
I am okay with it if it was decided to start giving them monetary perks as well. But it is asinine what the AD of OS had to say.
I can't help it if he is scared Urban may want the same.............Oh.......what is HE paid??
Urban Meyer's contract: More years, much more money
This idiot thinks "amateur sport" means even the coaches and staff are not paid.

That's what amateur is supposed to mean. THINK, you miserable tranny.

If the coaches get millions, why shouldn't the star players? THINK
You ignorant wretch. Amateur sports means the athletes are amateurs. That is all. As I said before, the coaches, trainers and staff at the Olympics are all paid.

Hey einstein. Many of the athletes at the olympics are professionals. It's no longer an amateur sport. How can you be so ignorant as not to know that.?
[
The reason I brought up the Olympics is because of your incredibly ignorant comment showing you think the coaches of amateur athletes are supposed to be amateurs too. They aren't.
