For the life of me I don't get college sports. It seems to me like some big universities using student players to rake in revenue, while the players get little to nothing in return other than one or two of them having a chance at a pro career.
They should end the fiction and pay the players. In fact, just drop the whole requirement that they be students at all, all that does is corrupt the school with corners being cut to fake grades and pretend that people are studying.
But mainly it would help the players, who can get some of the revenue they are creating, instead of being forced into a phony amateur status that is just an excuse by the schools to have cheap labor.
Nah I'm not cynical, just realistic.
