Players earning revenues for their likeness should also pay

If college football goes to this new model of players earning money, then those same players should also pay for expenses; for example, maybe they should not be given scholarships and pay their own tuition and living expenses with their revenues. Also they should participate in paying the expenses of running the program. A football program has huge expenses and the players should pay for that too...out of their revenues. If players become part of the business, business is all about revenue minus expenses. The model should probably go like this; The player can keep what is left over if his revenues are enough to cover his tuition/living expenses and program costs allocated to him. IPTAY may not be needed as much, it may only need to cover those players who don't earn revenue.

And what happens when a free lance photographer snaps a picture(s),enlarges it,and sells it on the black market.line.How do you deal with that money. Or some company makes knock off jerseys with a players name and number? And do you really think that most of these players will make enough to help run the program? And how much should they contribute? And if Coaches get money for wearing a particular shoe,should they not have to give part of money that to the program? And why should a coach get revenue for graduating 90% of his players.Is he teaching Economics 101 after practice? This is a complex issue,to say the least so I suggest you submit your ideas to the President,the Board of Directors( or Regents),The Athletic Director,and lastly,the NCAA.
