You know what they say — the best things in life are free. And apparently, a full education, housing, meals, and world-class coaching just isn't enough anymore.
Look, I get it. College sports make billions. But here's the thing: paying athletes turns them into employees. You think the NCAA's a mess now? Wait until you've got contract disputes, salary caps, and agents whispering in 18-year-olds' ears during freshman orientation. That's not amateur sports — that's minor league theater with a class schedule.
And let's be real: most of these athletes aren't going pro. A full scholarship is worth more than a few thousand dollars for the 98% who'll never sign an NFL or NBA contract. You want to pay them? Fine — then take away the free degree. See how many people still cheer for that trade-off.
