[QUOTE="LVH, post: 3290100, member: 71239"] 1. We were never getting these players anyway 2. I am still operating under the idea that in the long run, the investment these schools shell out for these players will not be a good investment. I just feel like paying an 18 year old millions of dollars before he has accomplished anything on the college football field will backfire because it will set in complacency and entitlement. Look at Texas A&M last year. Highest paid roster in the country and couldn't even win 6 games. 18 year olds with a lot of money is a bad idea. At least in the NFL when they get paid they are a bit older, and their money is directly tied to performance. They can get cut and shown the door and it could mean the end of the line for them. In college these players who get paid can slack off and know they can just transfer somewhere else when the jig is up and continue the grift. [/QUOTE]
