Athletes should be paid, but that does not make paying them under the table a righteous act.

It's always seemed kind of dubious to me that the teams of the NBA and NFL are effectively allowed to collude to exclude players under 19/21. If that restriction was lifted it seems like it would incentivize the creation of full-fledged developmental systems for both leagues where teams could stow young talent, making participation in the NCAA just another option for elite players (rather than the only option). Basically like college baseball is right now. Edit: Also the draft should he abolished General Dog fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Doesn't it seem pretty anti-labor for these players to have no agency as far as what team they go to, and to be paid well below market value for the first 5ish years of their career? (which in the NFL is basically their entire career) The NCAA has at least the facade of amateurism, what's the NFL's excuse?

The fact is that owners no longer care if they price fans out of attending their games since the majority of their revenue comes from TV contracts and not attendance at the games.

When I lived in San Antonio, I could regularly find Spurs tickets for less than $10 on the secondary market for games against bad teams.
