What about those doctors that do studies for medicines that cure things? they've brought more to the world, and the school than football could ever. Half the time it's doctorate students working on their PhD working their arse off for nothing.
They get a free education, room and board, books, tutors, medical, clothing, food, and a stipend.
They get paid in that, plus we would be naive to think they dont get money under the table. Paying the players wont fix that either.
The pay for play model will work for one year when a player like Jonny Football throws a fit that some 3rd string qb makes as much as him.
It wouldn't work, they don't have to play college football, they can stay where they are before some school gave them an opportunity to play ball.
I would be willing to bet that a majority of these kids wouldn't get into college if it wasn't for football. By that I mean they wouldn't qualify academically first and financially second.
I wonder how many kids were spared an early death or being put in jail for a long time if it wasn't for college football since a lot of these kids come for less than stellar upbringings.
These kids say that they cant get a job, I'd be willing to bet that they wouldn't swap places with a kid working at some burger joint and a full time student.
These guys have life by the ass in college, they're biting the hand that feeds them and they will not like the outcome.
CFB players will be sued by all the other sports because they will want to be paid and the CFB players will lose. All the other sports signed their contract under the same conditions.
