what bunch of free stuff do they get ? meals ? tuition ? let's say a texas resident attends UT ? they're already eligible for free tuition if coming from a low income family ? mind you the football program at big schools like texas, uf are generating around $70m in revenue yearly.
how much are the scholarships for 30ish students ? hell let's say everyone on the team all 53 students have a full scholarship ?
and if you attended a public state school, you already know those athletes don't attend classes at all. they have people do their homework etc and take easy majors meant for them.
So yeah the whole student athlete thing is a farce
Pay the students what they're worth. Given that they'll likely never achieve the level of impact or fame they do while in college.
