This is a fallacy. Why should athletes be paid more to play a game? Besides most play for the love of the sport not to get paid.
Money has all but ruined a lot of sports in America. College football is a big one Money completely screwed up.
Couldn’t agree more regarding CFB

respectfully, you are being naive and selfish and completely fucking over college football players

How? They choose to play. It’s a game why do people who play games must be compensated? Because we become a fat lazy jerk off society who over indulges in entertainment because modern society is so easy and safe?

It’s not a game if it appears on television. It’s entertainment which is a business

A business built on top of a game.

I feel what you're saying and part of me agrees. However, lets look more broadly....
The colleges are making hundreds of millions off the athletes, yet it is the the athletes who will suffer a lifetime if they sustain a critical injury. Then those very same colleges push for legislation to make "paying college athletes illegal".
At the very least, the colleges should be forced to carry a multi-million dollar insurance policy on each player, so if that player sustains a career ending injury they get paid out.

College football and basketball coaches and athletic directors benefit most from athletes not being paid. I’m not talking about under the table envelopes with cash.
You never hear about the star freshman who gets hurt and loses his scholarship.

with all due respect, you are being naive and screwing college football players

College football players should share in the spoils of revenue. I don’t see the coaches sharing some of the loot.
