Tim Tebow strongly opposed to the idea of paying college athletes. (link)

He’s just jelly.

Because he didn't get paid (except for under the table).

I dont like it either, but what about letting college athletes get endorsement

That's a recipe for serious jealousy & infighting in the locker room.

9/13/19 10:46am

So, just like professional athletes then?

WHO DEY

Yeah. And that's *NOT* a good thing.

Seems like an easy way for donors to classify illicit payments as endorsements

Yeah, that was my thought half way through typing it

Allow athletes to profit off themselves and likeness. College pays nothing.

this I would be fine with. Charge 5$ for autographs or whatever. CAPITALISM!

Mayor of Cougartown

I agree with this, but I'd tweak one thing.

WHO DEY

9/13/19 10:53am

It might level the playing field.

I feel like it would do the opposite.

So you're saying we'd finally have an advantage over the Utes?

Yep. People look at big-time programs that earn tons of money and then assume

NCAA just needs to go away cause they have failed miserably....

The problem is, the probable direction of a post NCAA

9/13/19 10:46am

Yep. I feel the same way about FIFA. I would love to fire all of those corrupt

And what replaces it? Since the NCAA is just the member institutions. It is not a separate thing.

9/13/19 10:51am

Turning them into employees would be a disaster. So many unforeseen issues.

9/13/19 10:49am

Allow for semi pro leagues (make the g leauge a viable option) and get rid of education requirements for pro leagues

9/13/19 10:50am

^^^ This ^^^ ... So much this!

The thing is, they are allowed for. No one watches them. That wouldn't change.

9/13/19 10:58am

^^^ This. Minor leagues and semi-pro leagues are already in place, and kids can

Game Changer

9/13/19 11:03am

I think no one watches because theres an almost defact monopoly by the NCAA. Theres been all this marketing that its

9/13/19 11:20am

I agree with Tebow, making college athletes professional will destroy

Busiturtle

9/13/19 10:55am

I don’t like them getting paid by the college, but they should be free to make money anyway they want

What's wrong with it is that boosters for the big programs...

You wouldn't even have to offer a scholarship if you can promise cash to
