This is so ridiculous that big time college programs can generate billions of dollars in revenue with football bowl games and college basketball tournament games but pay the players nothing.
What’s wrong with sharing some of that money with the players? If it wasn’t for the players no one would tune in to watch college athletics. It is an absolute must that the players be paid for their contributions to college athletics. There’s enough money to incorporate some kind of payment structure for these college ball players. These athletes are giving up so much and getting so little in return it is not fair and it’s criminal in my opinion.
A college program can practice these players up to 20 hours per week, that’s the equivalent of a part time job but in this situation these kids are not being paid for their services.
