Message: [QUOTE="methodology, post: 2672682, member: 3012"] Never going to happen. The infrastructure and facilities are already there for college and they don't have to pay any money. They will never steal the college spectators so there won't be the tv deal money, sponsorship money or ticket sale/ merchandise money to pay better. Baseball and hockey have had farm system for decades. Their players make peanuts/ poverty wages except the top players who had large signing bonuses but their pay is still low outside the signing bonus. They get paid like $1000-2500/ month and that's only when the season is going on. The kids, parents and most people are naive to the economics and way things work in farm systems. There no such thing as a living wage for minor leaguers. It tough living conditions, traveling, and hard work with crap pay and limited/ no meals. [/QUOTE]
