um, wow.....if the money making programs in college....which are some footballteams, some basketball teams, and almost NO OTHER TEAMS AT ALL, get paid.....where does the money come from for all the non reveune sports?
College athetic departments, outside of a small number who make a ton, don’t make money. They bring in a ton of money, but they don’t turn profits.....
For what it is worth, another ‘victim’ of forced integration.
Like the poster said, before ‘FE’ the Black schools were powerhouses but when the ‘Ivy League’ starts bidding on people because of PC they take the ‘cream of the crop’—students and athletes— and the Black schools eventually have a problem surviving.
As wrong as Blacks not being ‘allowed’ to play Major League Baseball prior to ‘47, a lot of Blacks were against integration because they ‘knew’ the Major League teams would just strip them of the upper echelon of talent from the Negro Leagues, who were succesful but made people money rather than rich.
So the ‘super stars’ went out and made good money while the League and the 2nd rate players died on the vine, as there were no more ‘draws’ to fill the stadiums.
Currently, they get a free ride.
In the future, they will need compulsory student fees and alumni endowments.
One day soon, someone will figure out how to privately monetize a football league of college age players.
Then, 90% of the elite high school players will choose to become semi-pro’s instead of college students.
If the colleges don't start paying salaries first, someone from the business world is going to do it for them.
