Become a college athlete, make tons of money (sorta)

Hey folks,

It was great seeing everyone this past weekend. I came across this article today and thought it might end up being the most controversial twist in the debate over whether to pay college athletes. I'd be curious to see what the annual salaries for athletes of other sports (soccer, swimming, lacrosse, etc.) since there isn't the same kind of tv contracts and ticket sales. Given the recent reports of how high poverty levels are, it might make college that much more appealing for the get rich quick ticket- basketball players might potentially make more money in college then they would in the initial years after getting out of school with a degree if they don't play in the pros. A bit weird.

Anyways, hope to see more posts this fall from everyone. I'll try keep it up on my end.

  1. Scholarships may not be revoked based on athletic performance. ... merely the reintroduction of a stipend that existed for college athletes.
