I am so confused about this. Yes athletes should benefit if their name makes money for the university they choose to attend, but that money should be placed in trust and passed to them once they graduate. So many things wrong with this.
The NCAA making billions off of their hard work is what was wrong in the first place. These young men not only have to work hard in the classroom, they have to work even harder out of it. For what? Most of them won't make the NFL. Some will get injured and have their careers cut short. I say let them get what they can get while they can get it. Besides, it's been a bit of a joke that the NFL has used the college football system as basically their farm system for 100 years.
The best solution, to keep college athletics "amateur", is for the NFL to step up and start a minor league system. They would never do that, though. So, here we are.
I say screw that. A free $400,000 dollar tuition is payment enough.
Why should it be placed in trust?
Shedeur Sanders is a "prime" example. Lame pun is unavoidable pun.
To secure his or her future. Millions of dollars given to a young person, with no history of managing that kind of money......the sharks will circle him until they have taken it all.
That is what his parents are for, to protect him and potentially screen for a proper professional to help him manage.invest those funds.
Lets be real , how many people , even those with a college degree have had a history of managing that type of money?
