If it gets strong enough, could it force NCAA to allow payment to players?

If this grows teeth, college football as we know it will nosedive.

Yeah, but you can't tell me that a bunch of those guys wouldnt trade sitting in a classroom for training every day for a salary.

Very interesting
We all have heard of 5 star recruits without a pot to piss in, I could see some of them signing for 3 years, then trying the NFL.
NFL is suppose to start a 6 team , 4 game spring league , for unsigned veterans this year too.

I know of plenty military people that have never shot a gun overseas or even left the US, so don't argue "well they protect us"....the "they get free tuition" argument is sh1t!!!!!!!! with all due respect!!!!!!!!!!!

Free Degree and No pay....
Student loans suck!
Now I would say a stipend wouldn't be a bad thing.

Ah yes, I forgot they still do that. How about those "alumni HS football games"? I watched those at my previous school, it's hilarious! Love it when the local insurance salesman breaks his leg
