I heard most college athletic departments actually lose money, which surprised me. So paying players seems like it would just make that worse. I know the big stars bring in a lot, but I still feel like college sports are supposed to be about school, not salaries.
if they pay the athletes ,it will help them financially and give them motivation,and when they win a prize or mrdal 10% or so on can be taken by the department as fund
I get it, they do work hard and have real talent, so that part sounds fair. I just keep thinking college is still school first, and paying players feels like it turns it into a job. I am not sure how to argue it better, honestly.
