oj mayo the next carmelo?
Why are college coaches paid MILLIONS of dollars but a college player receiving money is wrong?
If that is the case why are there sports teams in college. Why not just have amateur sports outside of college so they can play there. Athletes choose what schools to go to based on the athletic program so they definitely are going for sports. While they may be called students athletes, in reality most are athletes FIRST.
My last point for you to think about is this many say that not all coaches are paid like others and that one coach can make a team so much better and bring in so much money. The same can be said of players. NOT ALL PLAYERS HAVE THE SAME SCHOLARSHIPS and CERTAIN BIG NAME PLAYERS CAN TURN A TEAM AROUND SAME AS A COACH(Carmelo Anthony, Greg Oden,Reggie Bush & Derick Rose if you but aside the scandals lol)
But in an age where scholarships are NOT guarenteed to players and some are even walk-ons. The question is not is it alright to give players money but if it is alright for players to be treated so different from a coach.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A PROFESSIONAL COACH AND AN AMATEUR PLAYER WHO WORK TOGETHER IN THE SAME SETTING AND THESE PLAYERS SEE WHAT THEIR HARD WORK AFFORDS THIS COACH. AND NOT ALL PLAYERS WILL GO PRO BUT ALL COACHES ARE PAID REGARDLESS IF MILLIONS OR NOT THEY HAVE NO SECOND JOB THIS IS THEIR LIVELY HOOD. FOR MOST PLAYERS THIS IS THE SAME IF THEY ARE DROPPED FROM THE TEAM HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR THIS SUPPOSED FREE EDUCATION( WHICH ISNT FREE BECAUSE THEY USE THE PLAYERS LABOR AS PAYMENT)………..
For those that pose the answer of its the same in high school i have something i would like you to think about:
In high school the coach is either a teacher or some other adult who are not paid big bucks to coach the team. They are paid for the time they put in to the kids…..The coach for a love of what ever sport it is and because they want to help high school students..The amount of money they make is like peanuts compared to what college coaches are paid….in short this is not their main source of income so they must be doing it for other reasons besides money…..
Grant it I could be wrong but i think most would agree…..
PLEASE STICK TO THE QUESTION THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ABOUT. DONT DISRESPECT OTHERS…THANK YOU
they have to pay the coaches and also they have to pay the scholarships for the players
the money has to come from somewhere

I agree. Its incredibly hypocritical. And to those who say the coaches are pros and the athletes are amatuers just dont get it.
The Universities MAKE MONEY off the jersey’s and others things with the athletes name on it. And remeber this all you College Coach lovers. Only about 5% of all college players will ever play in the NFL yet they carry the injuries for a lifetime and get not a single $ for it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I dont blame some 18 year old kid from a poor background trying to get his when he sees everyone around him making money. I always get tons of thumbs down when I say it but i dont care. It is a hypocritical system
I agree with your arguements
