And honestly, if nothing changes and Duke still dominates recruiting and the players are students and getting paid. Who does that harm?

You let them go pro without having to go to college and cut them out altogether

fewer stars is VERY bad for sports btw

I would dissent from your opinion for college teams. Then again, I prefer teams

100% agree, not to mention the value of the actual cost of education any given year is not reflected in tuition

And your student loan payments probably double the total loan amount

That’s a good reason to revisit the concept of student first with real degrees

Are athletics, as a whole, money makers for all universities? Not even close.

Does she give reasons why paying players will hurt the college model?

Can you imagine the escalation in the bidding war which would ensue if they started paying players?
Indy Coug

I don't think any player debates between Duke and Wichita State like that.

Yeah, simple solution right there.

In what world would Wichita State ever be able to offer a player higher compensation than Duke?

I'm saying it's naive to think paying players makes these problems any better

Actually, it's naive to think it will be worse.

College degrees are decreasing in value and utility every year

IMO, college degrees are grossly overpriced and the long-term inflation rate of secondary education
Indy Coug
