revenue

HELLO??? Lets not forget the MILLIONS the colleges and the sponsors make off of these athletes!!!

Haven't we noticed that there is NO name on College Atheletes jerseys that are sold in stores? That's because they don't get compensated for the MILLIONS that are being made off of their name and hard work...so YES they do deserve the privilages!!!
In fact they should be compensated on these jerseys that are being sold.

-How many USC Carson Palmer jerseys were sold last year during his Heisman run?
-How many Mike Willams jerseys are going to be sold this year?
-Carmelo Anthoneys Syracuse jersey...

The list goes on...

Let's not talk about the TV/Radio/Satellite rights that are sold on these COLLEGE atheletics, and the athletes who bring in these revenues should be just left without a single word of help, scholarship or any other "privelage"??

WAKE UP!!!!

ok luv ya buh-bye!!!

Next thing we know, they're going to be trying to prove that actors/actresses deserve their millions.

yeah great point there, to all my respect to the "wanna be engineers, or wanna be anything" students, but the only thing they're bringing to their college is themselves, and with today's budget cuts and everything, that is just less than enough......

Actors and actresses are the most boring xxxxing people. All they do is shop, show up for movie openings, and take lots of pictures, and get a xxxx load of their very banal lives into tabloids.

[jilbagh]

do we not understand the concept of compensation?

a movie makes over 150 million, and the actor gets 5 bucks...is that fair?
They're name that brings in the people to see the works, are the same as the athelete that brings in fans to watch, the corporate sponsors that donate money to the insitiutions...

actors, artists, musicians are deservant to their equal vested share, as are athletes...

stop hatin....

don't hate the player...hate the game!!!

I don't care about that nor how much money they get. But they are entirely overrated for essentially not doing much, and we are constantly bombarded with the latest celebrity 'break up' or whos dating who. I couldn't give a xxxx.

Anyone who is a celebrity worshipper needs to be run over with an 18 wheeler.

yes i agree on that point....and i totally agree that actors that suck, get the courtside tickets i should be given to the Lakers games

but back to athletics, even ghandi would agree that the compensation to college athletes is not fair
