It would be easier for them to get paid. The legitimate NFL prospects (guys like Trevor Lawrence) would get paid significantly more, and the others would get paid a little, or just have the free tuition.

This would allow guys with the athleticism of legitimate NFL prospects to more easily take out disability insurance or catastrophic injury insurance to mitigate the risk of a career ending injury.

They are essentially forced to play, because they are discriminated against based on their age. There is no other legitimate path to the NFL.

The coaches make millions of dollars off of the athletes' labor, the schools make millions of dollars off of the athletes' labor, and the NCAA makes millions of dollars off of the athletes' labor. It's only right for the athletes to be able to make money off of their own labor.

So let that be a lesson, don't get drunk at the dinner or before you know it the pilots won't be invited and it will simply become a dinner for the spouses to discuss our life insurance policy
Anyone who gets drunk at that function before even touching Delta metal should be fired on the spot...For the life of me, I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing, but then again, my expectations continually need to be adjusted downward in today's world.

And now back to our regularly scheduled NCAA pay to play debate!

In his defense, at this job it's pretty easy to lose track of which day of the week it is...

I always know what day it is. Today is the day before the day before I have to go back to work.

I gave up on days of the week years ago. This profession demands a more fluid approach like Today, Tomorrow and number of days until next trip. If you insist on concrete labels, stick with numbers like "My trip ends on the 1st and I go back to work on the 5th."

Actually, the next class starts on Tues the 5th. We did this because we bring everyone in the night before class starts - which is Super Bowl Sunday in this case - so we delayed a day for hotel reasons.

Same. After 15 years of this, its the only way by brain works anymore but my wife hates it. She's still stuck in the "Monday, Tuesday, etc" world. I'm keep telling her to get with it.
