Even if they were a contributing member for the years that they were there? It's not like they are getting paid for 4 years upfront and only giving 2-3 years of service or etc.

I hope it doesn't start happening, but I can see it happening more now, than the olden days. Especially if the NCAA doesn't find another way other than Scholarships and etc for them to profit while in school.


With that being said. I'm not one of these "pay the players" people. I think the free degree they get, the platform they have throughout life, the free food, the free room and board, free medical or etc should be plenty good enough.
