[QUOTE="KDM, post: 207674, member: 314"] The costs of an education are already astronomically high. If you add salaries for athletes, how is that going to affect the rank and file of the student body with regards to activity fees. Not to mention the increases in other expenses assigned to non-athletes to support an overblown athletics department. There are NO athletic requirements for colleges and universities when it comes to staying colleges and universities. There ARE however, academic requirements for universities and colleges to maintain their accreditation and keep their educational programs viable. I think we are losing focus on what colleges and universities are there for and it's NOT to produce the next flash in the pan jersey jock. They are there to educate and prepare the next generations of people to function and maintain our society. If athletics are to be a salaried activity, then it should be separated from the school and run as a semi pro team like the minor leagues and supported by funds other than fees paid by the rest of the student body. I think it's a mistake to take funds that could be used to improve science, mathematics, engineering, physics, and other academic programs and put them into the pockets of athletes where 99% won't make the pros and will then most likely be put into the workforce with diminished educational abilities. It's NOT a good thing for the athletes who now don't compare well with non-athletic students who focused on their education and it's NOT good for the non-athletic students who have to pay for it through a larger student debt.
