"that uses athletes as chattel."
There is no shortage of people who want to play college football.
Many would play even with out a scholarship.
In Division 2 less than half the team is on scholarship. In Division 3 nobody gets scholarships.
They are almost never on TV and there is very little chance they will make the NFL.
- Ekaros 3y agoActually why not franchise the whole thing? Have the players be paid athletes. Let the schools own the teams and spot in franchise league. Thus allow them to keep the brand and whatever goodwill there to extract money from students.
- dessimus 3y agoAnd yet when you see the Big Schools, like an Alabama or Clemson, playing much lower Division schools, those schools are getting a massive payout for that game, while their students get whooped, and not getting anything for the abuse other than experience. That would be like a lower weight class boxer, say Canelo Álvarez taking on a fight with Tyson Fury (each in their respective class) for the "pay day", sure he may have a "puncher's chance" but few would consider it a fair fight.
