[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 3052538, member: 44"] I am not against the kids getting paid, and more power to them for doing it. Most of these kids will likely never see the pay day that they hoped they would in pro sports, so this offers them a chance to capitalize a little bit on their talent and hard work (beyond the obvious college education, which I think the majority of them do not care much about). I think once this settles out, it will continue to be only a handful of the players that are making significant money. This will likely breed discontent with their teammates and will tear teams apart. I don't think it will be the panacea that many players think it will be. How will the right guard that opened up all of the giant holes so his running back can be a heisman finalist feel when the average fans have no idea who they are yet the running back is making $500,000 to a million from sponsors? This change will, however, completely alter the landscape of college athletics and I will feel the same amount of loyalty to college sports that I do for pro sports, which is very close to zero. I would likely stick with kfc for the community that it is, but will care less about the sports aspect of it. [/QUOTE]
