It's just a shame the supreme court didn't listen to all of the geniuses itt complaining about kids being paid.
High court rules against NCAA on compensation
In a ruling that could help push changes in college athletics, the Supreme Court on Monday unanimously sided with a group of former college athletes in a dispute with the NCAA over rules limiting certain compensation.www.espn.com
Their, "labor"? You mean traveling the country for free? That kind of "labor"? Or having to practice? That type of labor? Or, getting to showcase your abilities/talents on TV every fuking night?
Not mistreated, exploited. What's insane is how much work and effort athletes have to commit to become elite or just play in Div I. That is their job. What is wrong for a kid to get paid from sales of his likeness? Your commits reek of jealousy.
So a 100k or 200k education is not getting paid. If I were schools I would stop giving out scholarships to some kids and say you have to pay your tuition and room and board and then make your money off or endorsements.
Not for kids who only have to be there 1 year and then their out the door. They didnt choose duke bc its a good academic school.....
They chose it because eventually it will get them paid. Are you saying a kid cant live with free room and board for 9 months, with all of their needs taken care of. They still get a monthly stipend. I had a relative that was on scholarship and he got something like 1300/month. Not a bad gig. No bills, all the food you can eat, great healthcare and 1300/month.

Nope. Who said that. Society has gotten way out of hand due to social media. People think others become successful based on skin color or race or some other reason besides hard work. Some do, but most work their butts off to get where they are. Ask other poster to add up their income for the last 30 years and see what the number comes to. I have done it and is millions, so a few million at 23 years old will not set you up for life.
Copying and pasting is a lost art."A company has several employees who, through their labor, create profits for the company. The company does not pay the employees directly, instead offering them free or reduced-price living arrangements in company-owned housing and food from cafeterias. The company shows off the glamorous and luxurious upgrades to its workplace, living space, and cafeteria in an effort to lure workers away from its rivals. While its normal workers go unpaid, the company pays exorbitant salaries to the managers and overseers of the workforce, who then, in some cases, abuse the laborers even beyond what onlookers deem necessary to extract the best possible product from them. The company protests that it cannot pay its laborers in the name of tradition, profit, and most shockingly, in order to protect the workers themselves from the harmful extravagance of a salary. The workers are also forbidden from making money from their own name or image. The whole arrangement is protected by an inter-state cartel of the company and its competitors."
That doesn't feel like Capitalism.
Papazekos | The NCAA's failure to pay college athletes is anti-capitalist
Beneath all of this lies a simple theoretical doctrine at the core of the economic system we’ve all been taught to love: capitalism’s insistence that the work you do must be compensated with a wage.
I dont care either way. I just dont get why people even care so much if the kids get paid or not. Would it make it less enjoyable to watch?
We disagree. I believe this is a major change in college athletics and what I have come to know and love is changing big time. I think it is very bad for college athletics and will effect locker rooms all over the country in a negative way.
jealousy?? Nope. Concern for the game I love is why I dont like it. It just isnt as simple as some of you think it is.
Do you actually think role players for decades have been unaware star players on their teams have received extra benefits financially?
the guy that coached back in the old "modern era".
My bad, you are talking bout that name on the front but not the name on the back era. Truth.
This is a great point and I agree, I think the SCOTUS is just saying the NCAA needs to make some changes, and also made it easier for lawsuits to be filed.
Athletes are not employee's...They are students."A company has several employees who, through their labor, create profits for the company.

No...BUT......you have a dude getting big $$$ as a 5*, but you are getting pennies, as a 4*---while producing, could cause issues...Monies under the table, i.e. extra benefits, isn't laundry usually laid out in the locker rooms. BUt now, well, it would be.
Where does this jealousy shit come into play? Its such a 5th grade argument...WTF would I be jealous about?
The discrepancy has been going on for decades. The gap is not big $ to pennies either. Programs are getting busted ponying up big $ to 4 star players.
If they ever get around to paying players, Refs should revolt and foul them all out by halftime. Let everybody watch the walk-ons decide the games in the 2nd half. It would be must see TV, it's not about the name on the back of the jersey, it's about the name on the front of it.
So, should every kid featured in "One Shining Moment", be compensated(paid royalties) every time its shown? Should every single player shown in Lorenzo Charles dunk to win the 1984 NCAA title, be compensated? What about when the NCAA shows Laettner's shot? Should every player in the clip, be paid royalties? SHould Keith Smart get paid every time the NCAA shows his game winner?
Do you not understand how compound interest works? $3m at 23 years old >>>>>>>>>>>>>> $3m over 30 years starting at age 23.
They are not employee's....They are students. Not sure why some of ya'll keep speaking if them(students) in the context of an employee...
So we wanna call for the NCAA to pay up---but why not the schools? Are they(schools) not "exploiting" these kids as well? 24,000 at Rupp every night....To watch these kids doing their "laboring". Should they(players) not get a percentage of the gate? What about a percentage of the concessions as well? Not to mention a percentage of sales at the gift shops? What about when Billy Bob buys three jersey's, at $75 a pop...Should that player of the jersey bought get some of that? Or is that different?
