Please someone explain this to me like I’m 5 years old, because sometimes mentally I am. I’ll start by saying I’m pro college athletes getting paid. I also realize that the line of questioning here won’t lead to a solution, we have NIL the way it is. Please don’t respond with Capt Obvious comments, I’m really working to understand all this and am happy to defer to those of you that know more.
With the release of the Sargent article and the potential infighting of our fan base, isn’t the biggest villain in the athletes getting paid the ncaa and conferences? In the NFL the main source of revenue is tv contracts, right? Don’t the players get like 50.5% of that? Where does all the tv money go in ncaa for football and basketball? Again, please, like I’m five years old. Maybe I’m missing an expense or step. It seems the root of the problem is the ncaa sharing. Then the extra money doesn’t have to come from the fan base. While the Knights of the Raritan do amazing work, it seems like the fans have to pay twice. And we’re made to feel guilty if we don’t. Thank you In advance for the replies and education in understanding the inner workings here. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to all!
