Message: [QUOTE="Dizzy21, post: 4819438, member: 4464"] One thing that is odd in the whole debate is that aside from coaches, where are people thinking all this money to pay the kids is coming from. People act like schools are getting rich off the kids. Maybe 20 or less athletics departments operate at any significant surplus, maybe even less. All the revenue at most schools, well way more than all the revenue the schools get from athletics is already being spent on the athletics. It is not like the school is riding high and saying we made a ton of money off of these kids. Yeah, maybe there is some room in coaching salaries to be spread to the kids, but other than that, what huge money are schools getting that they are not sharing with the kids? People always say share the revenue, well then why shouldn't the expenses of creating that revenue be shared too. When it comes down to it, basically no athletic department is profitable. [/QUOTE]
