Why can't MSU fans band together for something like this...

[Jarius]

NO, everybody knows and has for many years that the best players get money/gifts and the larger schools have deeper pockets. The thing is it used to be under the table, a taboo - against the rules, and for the average fan colleges had somewhat of a semblance of having STUDENT/ATHLETES (Student being first) or amateur athletes. That is not true anymore, they are now professionals whether they like it or not. They are getting payed, in the open like pro athletes. It takes some of the mystique and pageantry and just pure love of competition away from the game that used to be there. Now it is ALL about money and the original reason for attending college, an education, is gone.

This is some back row Baptist BS right here. “It’s all right if I do it and no one finds out”. Like going into the liquor store with a hoodie on so no one can recognize you. The school is not paying them. They are not professionals. The Olympians have been able to get paid since the beginning of time through endorsements and they were strictly amateur for many years. The biggest difference now is a college kid isn’t going to get his life ruined and eligibility taken when someone finds out he signed autographs and got paid for it. Whoopty doo. Telling a grown ass man or woman they can’t make money off of their own name is some communistic BS.
