Most players don't get to go pro. As a former college walkon, being an athlete and having the $ to pay for college and other things is a huge burden. There is too much as a full time student and athlete to work as well. Opening more scholarships give more kids as much opportunity as possible.

Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

My great uncle Ed Shaw was on that team. They went undefeated, including a close game vs. Notre Dame. Go Huskers!

Retro-actively adding a 109-year-old National Championship doesn't add credibility to a program with 0 draft picks.

the big programs will thrive while the rest survive, with no limit its all about Money then
ReplyIf open, rich schools like Ohio State and Texas would have 300 players on their rooster, which would impact the recruit pool. Of course those who don't play would end up in transfer portal. The scholarship limits helps all schools access to good players. Even with NIL, the scholarship limit helps

ReplySeems fair for the number of kids that actually play in games.
