Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 3931163, member: 70"] I am certain you recognize that the complexity of that solution is absolutely 1000% not the point in this context. You have people on this board saying that paying the players would somehow compromise the integrity of college sports. Meanwhile the FBI has Bill Self's assistants on wiretaps talking about giving cash to players and he gets rewarded with a lifetime contract [B]that stipulates that he can't get fired for what's on those tapes[/B]. And to your point, saying that something is complicated is not a credible reason not to do it. There are a million different options, it could be figured out if anyone had the appetite for it. Let them exploit their image and likeness, take some portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars in tv revenues, ad sales, concessions, ticket sales and put it in a fund that players can access after their playing career for health care, benefits, etc. Smart people can figure this out.
