If they are getting their education free they are already being paid!!

Considering most of their time is school and athletics with little time to work or sleep, they deserve to be monetarily compensated for the money they bring in
-
No one is forcing them to play college athletics. They are being compensated with a degree. If they don’t like it, they are welcome to play in Europe (if they are good enough) or not play college athletics at all and to pay for their education like everyone else.
-
They are being compensated with a grossly overpriced college degree that most of them will never use. The schools are raking in billions from sports, and the athletes get nothing.
-
They get meals, room and board, books, equipment, clothing, tutors, and the education a lot of others can't afford, and that's not all of it. If they want to be paid then they can pay for all of their stuff which would add up to more than they'll make. Might as well leave it be.
-
Naw, they should get paid for working. Might as well give it to them.
-
They’ll be paid if they go pro till then the education is payment so if they don’t make the cut they can join us in the private sector
-
Or, how bout people can make money off themselves and their name like any other person in America can.

How can anyone see this leader and not see the next President of the United States?
-
Because he just says stuff without any regard for the details, costs and implications. Sorry I will pass
-
I can't even begin to the implications of institutions that make millions exploiting young athletes trying to go to school being forced to share a portion of their massive profits.
-
How are they going to have massive profits when everyone is going to go to college for free?
-
Do you know how much money college basketball makes off of merch and ticket sales? And off the likenesses of their players? Etc? College athletes deserve a slice of that pie.

Look who’s “borrowing” Andrew Yang’s platform. JK who stupidly suggests that adopting good ideas from other bright people is an immoral practice for candidates to do to help build a more robust plan to unite behind for a variety of challenges of our day?https://www.yang2020.com/policies/ncaa-pay-athletes/ …

Well....in this case I’m going to bet the California Legislature was working on this independently of Yang’s platform, for quite awhile
But in general, I agree, the best part about so many people in the race is the number of good ideas that hopefully gain momentum.
