Such vitriol for the athletes who are trying to get a slice of the pie because they are the ones putting their (mostly Black) bodies on the line for the (mostly white) multimillionaire coaches while the (mostly white) wealthy boosters cheer for more.  Can't you hear yourselves as you chant "let's keep the system the same and keep them in their place"?  I agree that they are entitled...they are entitled to fight for what they believe in and stop being treated like chattel.  And to the point that most of them couldn't get in to college but for football...why don't you ask why that is?  As if grades and test scores were the definitive measure of talent, intelligence and potential.

Unbelievable.  But then again, believable, because I heard all this when I was student.  

Former Stanford Daily sports editor Mark Ziegler (now with the San Diego Union Tribune) weighs in.

Stanford and some private P5 schools could pivot to an Ivy League model, but for the top 20-30 P5 schools that is not likely to be a realistic option.

Some  of the “demands” I agree with.  Others I don’t. Which I think is what most on this board have stated.  

Revenue sharing simply is not going to happen. Saying so isn’t vitriolic.  It’s just a fact. It would be the demise of college football. And maybe that’s fine. But I’m not sure that wouldn’t harm more people than it helps. I suppose the NFL could have the equivalent of the NBA’s development league.  But that will apply to precious few. The rest will be done after their HS careers end.
