    Default Roll Tide ?


    Y! SPORTS

    I doubt anything happens though, the NCAA has become a joke.

    who cares...they should just pay them to play football and they must use the money...or some of the money to pay for their own education..unless they are intelligent enough to get an academic scholarship.....it would make things much cleaner and not so...shhhhh...secretive..there would have to be limits since this is not pro football....

    I don't have the solution and I don't believe there are many programs that are clean. The problem with limits is that they get broken. I mean the limit now is zero but programs don't follow that. If everyone is getting paid, it would make it next to impossible to figure out that rules are being broken. If everyone got a certain amount, then the elite players would still be getting the 'extra'. The thing I don't like about paying everyone upfront is because that money is going to come from somewhere other than the millions these programs are raking in; Probably increased ticket and tuition prices. Then do you pay the athletes of all sports? I am like most of the world, wishing that everyone followed the rules, but I think there is way too much money being made for it to be stopped. It also doesn't help that the NCAA is pretty much a joke right now. Why follow rules if there are minimum consiquences, if any at all?

    I've been hanging out there to. We don't seem to have many on the Louisiana forum that discuss football so I head over there.
