Everything does have to be equal in college sports. Its the only way that the eventual conversation about paying players will be kept in check. Everything has to be fair and balanced across the board - what 1 school can pay a player can't be any more than another school on the West Coast can pay. What the starting QB gets a year has to be equal to what a backup volleyball gets paid (Title IV will help in this case). If not it will spiral out of control.

Life isn't fair and it never will be.

Students should not be in school in the first place.
schools should simply get rid of any special admittance requirements for athletes. get your teams through tryouts from the general school population. Call it the obannon act.

I disagree with you there. Kids are having to put in way more time and effort in their sport in order to succeed over others these days. If schools were to hold tryouts, our athletes would not be at the caliber they are today. Athletes attending these universities might not have the highest GPA's entering the schools, but they are having to manage much more than the average student, which is why they should be given a little lead way.

Kids don't get any leeway. . So there is nothing to be lost.
The kids you talk about could spend less time on being super athletes and more time on being students worthy of acceptance. You know, spend your efforts on school in order to get into school.

People were complaining about paying players. It sounded like a bunch of socialist. They were basically saying that if one school thinks the market warrants paying players X amount, they should not be allowed. People are worried that football will go away if the market allows what it will allow.

That would be horrible for CFB, and, more importantly, horrible for Clemson. We don't have the kind of budget to keep up with the Jones' in that type of system. The rich would get much richer, and if you think things like facilities, tradition, and winning sell right now, just imagine how $$$$$$$ would sell.

Football whether it be NFL or college has to have parity for all teams to be competitive. It's a sport and fans of all teams feel they should have a level playing field regardless of their size or location. You have several really good teams in really small schools that could not compete against the mega schools. That is what makes college football the game it is today. Free market is the American way in all business or should be, but this is college kids playing a sport

Well, obviously with Clemson and all schools having a set $$ amount across the board levels the playing field as far as how much LEGAL $$ the players receive. Going to a school to play football shouldn't be about how much money they are going to make while in college with the college funding their entire ride

The satellite camps are one thing the ACC and sec have in common. Do those work for teams that use them and would it benefit Clemson. Isn't it always better to get them on our Campus
