I guess I'm just old school .... they are already getting paid with a scholarship ... anyone priced an education from Stanford lately
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

Me three.
I'm ok with the players making money on their "likeness" but revenue sharing and medical insurance. Cmon. If it's that bad. Just quit playing. However they know it isn't that bad. This is just taking advantage of the current climate in the US to get a bigger slice of the pie.

If they get hurt on field they are being taken care of. I do think they could expand that some. I was talking to Tyler Russell a few years back and he was on crutches. He injured his knee while playing football at State and it had to fix but he had to pay for it. I think they could take a little more care after they leave the school just in case something comes up.

Yeah. You can put me in that old school camp also. Free of charge: education from an institution of higher learning; food; books; housing; best medical care; treated like kings (which can be parlayed into numerous opportunities after graduation that few others have). Tough life for a college kid.

Correct. They're not only getting free tuition, but they're getting free books, housing, and food, as well as in many cases, pretty outstanding workout facilities, complete with entertaining games. All that adds up in a hurry. Regular students get none of that, and even high-level academic scholarships don't include room and board, for the most part.
Athletic departments are taking a huge financial hit right now. If they want to get paid in the good times, do they also agree to pay the school in bad times?
