College football is much worse than the NFL. Players get paid nothing and still burden the same risks mostly. The idea that players are "getting an education" simply just isn't true when you consider some of the majors these guys are enrolled in.
We need a minor league where players can make money. College football is insanely profitable.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoDecouple the football teams from the colleges. Make 'em fully pro, with the scholarships and all intact but the team only licenses the team from the university and pays for its use of facilities, plus "holy cow those are high" licensing fees. The university still acts as alumni funding agent.
- ams6110 10y agoI guess you call a 5 or 6 figure per-year free education, room and board, use of multimillion dollar facilites and training expertise, getting "paid nothing." Minor league players don't make a lot of money. Sometimes they have to pay to play. They get chewed up and spit out broke for the most part.
