that compete with multi-year players than the one-and-dones. Once professional opportunities exceed the value of earning a degree, players should leave, not be paid as college players.

The problem isn't the bulk of the players, it lies with the

Yeah, but do you only pay the superstar?

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

Let the superstar go away. The NFL would help the NCAA by allowing players a

I don't see any situation in which that would 'help' the NCAA

Have fewer stars, more "student"-athletes, and greater parity.

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

This quote would be great 30 years ago.

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.

ManicBlue

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

Blue Cat

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

Indy Coug

4/25/18 12:26pm

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

Jeremy

4/25/18 12:36pm

Yeah, simple solution right there.

Indy Coug

But the market includes gov't entities shielded from market consequences some

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

In a world where money comes out of thin air and no budgets exist

In the Koch Brothers world.

All the reasons you give is why players should get paid.

Blue Cat

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

Indy Coug

4/25/18 1:09pm

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

The fact that a bidding war could happen is enough evidence that players are

The NBA absolutely needs to stop using the NCAA as the minor leagues. The rise of the G-League

College degrees are decreasing in value and utility every year

GeraldGarner

So?

Indy Coug

4/25/18 12:27pm

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

Indy Coug

4/25/18 1:10pm

Depends on the school and the degree program. And it is mostly due to liberal arts degrees devaluing everything.

What do you mean Link? That's an objective, universally accepted truth.

She gets it. A lot of media morons clamoring for paying players do not.
