One avenue to a college education...is by getting a scholarship...to pay for your schooling...ball + books= diploma...for a small minority of dudes, they also get to move onto to the next level of play, the NFL...here's the rub...D-1 football is big business...huge money...some have said that the players should be able to get a share of the $...as well as getting their degree paid for...
The latest comment on the plight of the game...came from the now QB of the UCLA Bruins...Josh Rosen...who, in essence, said that football and going to school, DON'T MIX!...that many guys have no duty or even, desire to step into a class room...adding more fuel for the pay for play idea...Odds...let's look at them...only 3 to 4% of high school players move on to college to play...and the % of the collegiates to pro, may be a bit higher...maybe 6%...so, my figures...are that 94% don't make it...so, get that degree and use it wisely...right?...
However, that doesn't address the money made in football at the collegiate level...do YOU think that there should be a sharing of it?...do the players deserve a portion?...you know who does benefit?...the coaches...who are making record numbers of pay...in fact, they are the biggest salaried people on all campuses...hmmm...
What say you?...
