Blumenthal and Booker are co-sponsoring legislation that would, if enacted, do many things, among which would be obligatory revenue sharing.
I think it's high time that the men and women who are making millions of dollars for Universities get some of the mullah that they are earning for the University.
I don't buy the, "they are getting a free education" argument (which really means, "a free college degree," because you can get a "free" education using a 100 dollar tablet and Google at your local TarBucks) because the value that, for example, Zion Williamson brought to Duke far exceeds the nominal cost of his degree.
Little more local - what Kemba Walker gave to us is far more than what we gave to him.
I do have concerns that this proposed legislation could go too far - I agree with revenue sharing for athletes who produce revenue - but I can see this getting out of hand, which could result in wealth redistribution from the revenue producers to the non-revenue producers, which would be just abuse of the athlete again, but this time for the gain of his/her non-revenue producing peers instead of greedy Trustees.
In any event, it's high time - the college system has been abusing student athletes for 100 years. Kill the old system and bring in something better.
