Well of course they aren't forced to sign
My point is that the education isn't "free" like some think. They have and definitely continue to earn that "free" education over the course of 4 years and prior to getting it.. make no mistake about it is being earned, whether we realize it or not sitting on the couch enjoying the games every weekend.
Now I'm not saying they should be paid, no real way to do that fairly IMO. The 3rd string QB shouldn't make as much as the 1st string QB..or someone like Manziel, etc. Then players would be upset about their compensation or not making enough, etc.
Only fair way is to give them all the same but again that will lead to problems as well. And would anyone really want to put substantial amounts of income into 18-21 year old's pockets in college...shit they get in trouble with no money.
most of this wouldn't be a factor/happening if the NCAA had agreed to pay the medical expenses for players getting injured.That alone is absurd but a scholarship is enough of a freebee and they all get under the table crap anyway.
plus all the NCAA rules read like some kind of muslim don't do this and that bylaws that are impossible to follow without breaking
I had many friends on the football team when I was in school at Arkansas and I don't know a single one of them that would have traded their experience for my school and job combo.
NCAA settles with former athletes
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/st...eo-game-claims
This makes ZERO sense b/c every year a new class action lawsuit can be filed by the freshman class of athletes.
Even more interesting/bizarre is the Plaintiff's settled for exactly 1/2 what EA paid them.
Lawyers 2 - NCAA + EA + Plaintiffs 0
a game cancelled so a bunch of 19-20 year olds can get $600 or what ever for a pair of jordans and some pizza.
Ed O'Bannon thinks Little Leaguers should get paid too. Yep sign em up Plaintiffs lawyers and sue the World Wide Leader and Little League for exploiting the kids.

Oh for fucks sake.
Sent from my Droid Maxx using Tapatalk because I'm a lazy assIt is the EXACT same argument (legally) as O'Bannon et al. argument is now. ESPN broadcasts NCAA/Little League games and makes money off of it but the athletes don't get paid for it.Fuck this guy !!
Honestly, its the best move by the NCAA's counsel to date b/c it shows just how truly RIDICULOUS all these pay the athletes morons are.
To totally overreach this argument can't this be said for anything/anyone that is shown on TV? If CNN broadcast a trial does the lawyers/judge/defendant get money?
Yes which is why we had a 1st Amendment at one time. I've long said EA/NCAA's strongest argument against this case is a free speech constitutional defense. However, liberals (such as our federal judge in San Fransico and the 9th Circuit) don't pay much attention to that old outdated document.
The only hope is a 5-4 SCOTUS ruling.
Wait, if it's settled, what's going to the Supreme Court?
The t.v. lawsuit is still going - the video game lawsuit settled.
WTF? I didn't realize there was a tv lawsuit. That's dumb. Can he sue the internet as well? I'm sure Ed O'Bannon has generated money for websites by increasing web views. What a fucking penis.
Coaches and players alike have argued about wanting stipends for cost of attendance. Would it be plausible for EA to provide some compensation in stipend-form to these athletes to circumvent pay for play rules? Or maybe simply a free copy of the game? Hell, bowl games reward players with gifts. Why is the NCAA okay with that?
