No one is arguing that players don't offer value to a college. They wouldn't be playing if they didn't. But you are cherry picking here. These packages you are talking about don't include all college athletes.Consider this -- if these things aren't jobs with value or worth, then why do major colleges grant their players enormous insurance packages? The entire reason they do so is because the know there is an enormous amount of worth in the value of these players. You can actually put a dollar amount on how much a college athlete is worth, individually, because colleges do it for every single player.

You again are confusing a job with an extra-curricular activity. I know you can pay students who are in school, I hire student workers in the summer every single year at my school. I'm not paying them to play baseball, I'm paying them to clean an iPad.Er, yes? Students above the age of employment can work at their school, I had friends who did that. And even for students below the age of employment, exemptions can and are made for hardships. Highschools can literally pay their students, and they are still students none the less.
Students who maintain high GPA's also add value to a college. Should they be paid?So you're arguing that people whom you admit add value to a program shouldn't be compensated for their contribution, and your argument is that doing so is "ethically wrong" and "isn't fair"?
Talk about being all over the place
You accept his premise that players can offer a value (in a dollar amount) but then want to argue marginal popper qualifications about "not all players". I think you're just arguing for argument sake here.No one is arguing that players don't offer value to a college. They wouldn't be playing if they didn't. But you are cherry picking here.

I didn't say anything about a dollar amount. Value doesn't always equate to money.You accept his premise that players can offer a value (in a dollar amount) but then want to argue marginal popper qualifications a about "not all players". I think you're just arguing for argument sake here.

they are, yes. That doesn't mean they're all taking the hardest classes. But yes, they're going to classes.
Wow so insuring things and/or people/players for monetary amounts is not equating value for monies... Now I know you're just arguing for argument sake.I didn't say anything about a dollar amount. Value doesn't always equate to money.
So a student isn't paying? High GPA's aren't keeping the value of prestige
thats not what I replied to with my value comment either.
This is some real "what does it have to do with the price of fish" scrabbling by you here.So a student isn't paying? High GPA's aren't keeping the value of prestige

Not to mention the sports scholarships that can be revoked on a serious injury the athlete might suffer playing.FREE* education
*except with extreme restrictions on what classes and majors they're allowed to take, and only "free" if they work an additional 40 hours a week** in practice on top of attending class
**net worth of said worth is millions of dollars
yes. and not just in direct money for sales from tickets, but all the additional apparel sales around the world, increases in alumni donations, and increases in student applications which allows the college to be more selective and increase their rankings and prestige over time.Not to mention the sports scholarships that can be revoked on a serious injury the athlete might suffer playing.
Education first, my ass. It's just a revenue generator for the college.

Are people paying $200 million dollars a year to watch someone with a high GPA take exams? Because if they are, then absolutely.
I don't know all the details, but Sweden does it.I consider myself pretty radical but I never thought of paying kids to go to school, but now that I think about it it isn't such a bad idea.
Nah. I do think colleges themselves shouldn't be the ones to pay athletes, BUT I do think athletes should be able to take endorsements, money from boosters, and in general get all the free shit they can get. The fact that college athletes can't profit off of their own likeness is fucking asinine in a country that's all about capitalism and getting paid.Cap athlete salaries it at $100K. Done. If they are injured, their scholarship should be guaranteed.
I was paid to work at my University's radio station. Ironically, covering athletics.
Yes, how strange that Laura Ingraham, of all people, would for some reason argue that black people should exist only to make money for white people 🤔How did a topic about the benefits of black athletes' talents going towards HBCUs end up on a debate about not paying black people for their labor...again????
What's great is that his arguments has enough 'by your bootstraps' 'community taking care of itself' that if foxnews wasn't racist, just uber-conservative, they would have nutted on themselves
