[QUOTE="TxFrog1999, post: 2764106, member: 322"] I'm all for it as long as the Showgirls get paid. ;) In all seriousness, the biggest issue surrounding this is Title IX and what will become the death nail to a lot of sports. You can't have one sport paying players without equality and Title IX rearing its ugly head. Which means, the hand full of "talented" football players getting paid will cause the rest of the athletes at the school to be required to pull the same amount, or else the institution will run afoul of Title IX. There isn't enough money to pay Football players, and Baseball players, and Basketball players, and Volleyball players, and Track and Field, and Equestrian, and Rifle, and Tennis, and Golf, and Hockey, or even Baylor's Quidditch team. So, what will happen is the eventual consolidation of sports at institutions that want to compete in this brave new world, and since each men's sport requires a women's sport you can bet most schools will kill off sports within the first couple of years. That means, because of a handful of "talented" athletes, hundreds of thousands of high school students who couldn't otherwise afford college will be denied a chance at an athletic scholarship. All because some idiots think this is a good idea for "equality." [/QUOTE]
