The bulk of athletic budgets are coaches' salaries and football facilities. I see paying the players less as putting colleges into debt and more as moving money away from coaches and facilities to players.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968936712605655526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816079077396500265.post-58779544595014459872014-01-28T16:43:19.323-06:002014-01-28T16:43:19.323-06:00Hey dudes.

There is one thing that has always confused me regarding the topic and I don't know how exactly the O'Bannon lawsuit addresses it, if it all. What is wrong with players being able to make money off of their own likenesses (autographs, jerseys, video games, etc) without the universities contributing anything further than the scholarships that are already provided? Every time Jim Delaney talks about it he makes it sound like the ship is going to sink, and he kind of has a point in regard to collegiate sports not being a minor league, but if the players can just make money off of their own likenesses without further fiscal contribution from the schools I do not see what the big deal is.KjellKjockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007531657917365635noreply@blogger.com
