Nonsense. Many unpaid internships are more valuable than expensive college classes.

And?!?

Minor league baseball players barely squeak by. Many college athletes get the benefit of a scholarship worth many times what they would get in a free market. I would support whatever would best help college athletes, but I’m not convinced they would get generous salaries.

The only part I disagree with is that just because a college education costs 200k for example, doesnt mean its worth 200k

The price of a college education is definitely inflated. But most players in the minor leagues are paid less than $7500 for the year.

So minors is a bit of a different story. Minors generates little profit, the coaches are trying to prove themselves too. College football makes coaches and others rich (other than the athletes)

On principle I support college football players being paid. It’s an open question whether paid collegiate sports would be more profitable than minor league baseball. But I suspect it would mean the effective end of NCAA football and a vast reduction in value for most players.
