Pay me and give me a scholarship
NCAA revenue earning players should not be paid due to the simple fact that most of them are in the school with a full scholarship . They are given top of the line equipment and are treated like royalty . Most players who are given a full ride don’t even use all four years. Many forgo one or more years of college to try to make money in numerous leagues across the globe. They are provided with scholarships that the college expects them to use. So it’s only fair for the colleges to cash in a few dollars from their games to get other people into college. The average NCAA full scholarship is about $50,000, which covers all the students classes, boarding, and food. They receive top of the line perks that other students don’t receive. I am not bashing the students because they have talent, but because they waste money that other students would love to have. Revenue players are bringing in money for their own funds in school, allowing the university to fund all of the activities in which they participate..
