Being buried in the avalanche of news is this:

A player Steve Fisher recruited and coached, who also was one of his star players, got paid extra benefits.

Fisher retired last year, and SDSU has already decided to hold the player out of action pending investigation.

I assume you understand that you misrepresented what I was saying but I will elaborate just in case I am wrong.

Currently the players get scholarships and world class training. Which is far less than what is being made in their name.

People want them to a fair value based on the income they are generating and that makes perfectly logical sense. I have no issue with this.

My concern is the reality of the situation may end up being that since only a select few schools can actually compete financially with the top dogs that allowing them to do it openly will shift the balance of power so dramatically that they lose the popularity and in the process cost themselves and all the lesser players that they needs to fill out the leagues will lose the fair market value as well as the scholarships and the world class training.

How much is being made in their name versus how much is being made in the university's name? And as you point out, at the vast majority of schools, it's a case where money is being lost in their (or the university's) name. I'm all for NFL/NBA funded developmental leagues for those who don't want to go to college. Give a kid a choice of paths. Take the traditional college scholarship route for three years or go play for 50K a year for the Reno Gamblers or Tulsa Tornadoes.

If I'm the juggalos, I'm shitting bricks right now. They have a really good coach, fairly young with a clean reputation (though he did coach for Pitino for some time). If a bunch of P6 jobs start opening up, I'm guessing he's the ideal candidate for a lot of Presidents. Of course, the juggalos are too stupid to shit bricks because they deeply believe that they are a big time school incapable of having a coach leave for another job.
