How much money do you think players at Michigan end up with?  Hundreds?  A couple grand maybe?

If I named names would it really convince you?

You're arguing that bagmen aren't a major factor in building a national championship football team. You're immune to reality.

LMAO.  You know you've lost…

LMAO.  You know you've lost a debate when your main point is to call out grammar mistakes.  By the way, myriad is an adjective AND a noun genius.

Still waiting on the places where an amateur football player can hone his craft.  You listed the free weight rack in the back of a Jimmy John's.  Sorry, doesn't cut it.  What are all these professional leagues you speak of?  The NCAA is minor league to the NFL.  This is common knowledge and you trying to claim otherwise is laughable.

Seems like you really have a strong dislike for football players and they should entertain you for free.  Did a high school football player call you a nerd back in the day or something?

Nice gatekeeping referring to college athletes as "legitimate student athletes".  Thank god you don't get to decide who is "legitimate" or not.  Again, you're painting football players as spoiled and ungrateful for not wanting to provide entertainment worth million dollars for free.  Pathetic.

So players taking $100k…

So players taking $100k under the table is fine for sport, but if they receive more, above the table, it's bad.  Makes no sense man.

How do you think it works now?  Players are paid with cars, cash, hookers, loans, fake jobs, and have to deal with shady promoters, bagmen, and illegal agents in the shadows.

I think people have this idea of the student athlete as a pure and sacred thing.  A throw back to a bygone era.  It was never that way and will never be that way.

Schools are already attracting kids of out high school with the highest bidders coming out on top.  Who is willing to go the farthest with the above illegal activities?  Who is willing to dump the most money into completely opulent facilities including spas and tvs in every toilet stall?  Is it MAC teams?

You claim that if the system…

You claim that if the system is unfair that college football players can "go elsewhere".  Then you say there are a "myriad" of alternatives.  Such as?  Oh, that's right.  It's the NCAA or nothing for football.

Then you blame the players for "not taking advantage" of their college education?!  Maybe they are putting in 80 hours per week on football and don't have the time to double that and completely invest in their education the way a typical student can.

Sounds like you want athletes to shut up and be happy with the scraps they are given.

What is the right path for a professional football player in 2019 in your "educated" opinion?

1) bagmen

2) luck/once in a career talent like Deshawn Watson etc?

So the players making money…

So the players making money and there being better transparency isn't a step in the right direction for you?

You're not making a good…

You're not making a good faith argument.

There are plenty of plans.  The problem is no one at the NCAA raking in Megabucks WANTS to come up with a plan.  They could let the players benefit off of marketing their own image tomorrow if they wanted to, without directly paying a cent.

That's a circular argument. …

That's a circular argument.  People watch Michigan sports because they've had a lot of success in sports, because they had good players.  You seem to think the university gets elite players paid by "exposure".  LOL.  

It would be interesting if you worked for a fortune 500 company...  Maybe they should pay you in exposure and brand recognition not money.

You'd watch Michigan football even if they weren't good at football?  Do you follow your community college, high school, middle school?  People watch because of elite athletes.  If you don't believe me then check out the AAF, XFL, Canadian football, your local YMCA and see how many people are watching.

Paying players could trigger…

Paying players could trigger an "arms race for talent"??  How deep is your head in the sand?

  What do you think is happening right now in basketball and football and has been going on for decades?!

Let me guess, paying the players will "make it worse".  Not sure how it can get much worse.  And at least the workers will be getting compensated for their labor.

Don't forget the lavish…

Don't forget the lavish salaries for athletic department administrators, lavish offices and facilities.  Of course the players use the facilities too so that is a partial win.

This is like the argument…

This is like the argument for paying artists/developers with "exposure" not money.  

Free networking?

Free medical care for INJURIES SUFFERED ON THE JOB you mean?

Scholarships?  You mean for being good at something (sports) while academic students also get these for being good at school.  (And not generating millions of dollars for the University mind you).

Better meals than you choose to buy?  Yeah, we should feed athletes generating millions McDonalds and cup o noodle!
