Call me old fashioned but you go to college to get an education. What message are you sending..Its more important to spend more time in the gym and less time on the books.

You mean it will change like it did when coaches started to make millions? This is basic capitalism, which was brought into college sports years ago. Going to have to deal with it, some won't be able

And that will happen. But paying of student athletes, when the conference in question is a multi-BILLION dollar endeavor will always come up.

So if you mean a regional league, where coaches aren't millionaires and the focus is on education over athletics, I'd actually like to see that. Otherwise it's a rat race like the one now fraught with greed and corruption and falsehoods where money rules and students are a disposable commodity.

The athletes really lose the student prefix.

If you can afford to pay the coaches multiple millions, the "student athlete" should be afforded some walking around money.

Agreed. For the hours these kids put into the program, 10 grand a year is nothing.
