How many people think that most NCAA athletes are getting paid or some kind of extra benefits?

There are definitely some college athletes getting money or extra benefits, but I wouldn't say most are.  It really depends on the sport and how good they are.

They get stipend checks every month. That's enough as it is on top of their free education and everything else under the sun. My baseball buddy got free contacts last week so he can pitch better and one of the basketball players got a tooth replaced he had knocked out in a fight or w/e. Just said it happened in the game and they did it for free.

Exactly...The reason i brought this up is i know a guy who plays for a small university football program and he gets money. Now i know a guy who's son plays for a good school and he is getting paid, plus one of the recruits was getting $100 handshakes after his Friday night games but of course this kid ruined his college career and beat up some women and did the usual big man on campus thing and got kicked off the team. Hell, i am down in here in horrible Greenville, S.C.

The NCAA is the biggest bunch of ivory tower dwellers. These poor kids with nothing get used and thrown away like so much trash. They should be paid.

I agree pay them something. The universities are making millions off of them. That is why most top notch players leave early for the nba nfl or whatever it is, they need the money they play and practice all week and have no time for a job. I think a small paycheck every game would be nice. not alot but maybe 100 bucks for the week would be nice

Why pay them? They're getting free rides, free medical care and stipend checks. That's all they should get. Not to mention, free clothes, free supplements and pretty much anything else they want. It's ridiculous how many perks the athletes get at my school, and some of the teams are terrible to boot.

Yea, i remember because i am from Ann Arbor and Chris denied ever taking anything from that booster who i believe is dead. The whole Chris Webber and fab 5 thing is like the Reggie Bush investigation, the booster wanted to represent Chris Webber as his agent and Chris wanted nothing to do with him. Chris was ordered to pay a million dollars which he uncatorgically ever denies taking a dime from that booster and fined a million dollars and all our wins were taken out of the record books. C. Webb could easily pay the million dollars but has not and said he will not.

You're right.  The problem is definitely the NCAA.  They are one of the most corrupt groups of White people in the world.

they shouldnt be paid.  The biggest problem with paying athletes involves the budget of the schools. Most schools have a tight budget for their athletic programs and cannot afford to expand the amount of money spent. and the bigger schools would be getting the best athletes

and an 18 year old does not have the capability to handle the fame and money if they did get paid.

The money doesn't (have to) come from the schools.
