I don’t know maybe it’s where I was raised. But when ND played football, you went to the game or watched it on TV. It’s in me.
I think college football players have talent & it’s fun to watch college football, I think they should get a piece of the pie. It’s not like game tickets are free or the television broadcasts are commercial free. This could be their best shot to make some money…I’m fine with them getting that.
That’s just my 2 cents, if others feel differently that’s cool too.
But, imho, college athletics for the participants is time consuming, they should be compensated for their time & talent.
