@RolandSchitt , I'm gonna take your suggestion. I'll call UK tomorrow. We'll see.

Sure they do, but it’s very different. Athletes are recruited and a lot of recruiting is dirty. Paying them will only make it more so. There are no boosters, AAU shysters, or other slimy types involved with engineering students.
Agree. Reading his stupid posts here. I just spent 4 years paying for an out of state student at UK. He is simply wrong.
I called, as I thought, you are dead wrong. It is required with all residential housing. Idiot. You should be banned again.
Lol, well I just called and they said you could. So either you got bad info or didn't really call.
You're pretty sad. We're done here. Everyone see's leadbelly. You're still a dumbschitt. I won't respond to you again.
Again with the internet safeword. Considering you're an admitted liar, I am not sure your threat is a negative for me. Good luck!
It’s already “dirty” and it’s only ”dirty” because it’s idiotically against the rules. Allowing players to make money would make it less dirty. Stop trying to control people’s god given right to earn money for their work.
Everyone has the right to be wrong. Some abuse it. Congrats on that.
By the way, these players are NOT working. They’re playing amateur basketball in college. Should high school players get paid as well? Jr. high? Stupid, stupid argument.
It depends on what you choose to major in. If you choose a silly, non-marketable major, you might as well go to work somewhere straight out of HS.
Wow real clever. Show me how much money college athletes bring in for their schools vs. high school. Do high school athletes play in a tournament that generates billions in revenue? I’ll wait.
Plus, there’s that little thing about legally becoming an adult at age 18.
Kind of amazed at how much stupid you packed into one post.
Would say I’m amazed that so many here oppose common sense progress that not only helps the team you root for but also the sport you love but I’m not at all.
Honestly I dont give a **** if colleges directly pay the players but players should be allowed to make every penny they can outside of school when playing college sports. It’s just basic fairness.
I understand that position, you just need to understand that players will then be bought on the open market. That isn't good for college basketball and I'm not sure its really good for the players either.
Plenty. You aren't changing your viewing habits due to who is on the team. Therefore the players are interchangeable. You are watching the program. The program generates the revenue, not the players. The players already get more from the arrangement than anyone can show that they generate.
According to SCOTUS, student-athletes do not perform work, they are not employees. If it is work to them, perhaps they should do something else.
Nope, I'm not. The point is you already said you would watch whether it was John Wall, Sheray Thomas or Richie Farmer playing. This is very different than pro sports. In pro sports, a large part of the audience watches for the players. College has more of an emotional connection with fans, we will watch regardless. It is the program generating the revenue. The players add little incrementally. We are providing the opportunity for them, not the other way around.
You’re apparently too dumb to realize fairness is the exact reason it isn’t allowed. I’ll let you figure out why.
The US Supreme Court ruled on this? When?
They aren’t even supposed to hear the case until June. Not sure how they could rule on it before....

Yeah because these mid major schools are getting all the big recruits already right? Dipshit.
disagree...this would attract players to the more populated cities generating higher revenue for the star players more fans...more autographs, bigger market for used car commercials and so on. creating an unfair advantage for these schools. this could hurt smaller town schools like UK in the long run.
