That will be the end of college sports for a lot of us, including me. No longer would I spend any money on my university if they directly pay players, as it would be a minor league. If that passes, let whoever votes for it be responsible for coming up with the money. I would still watch, but I would quit going to the games, no more parking, no more concessions, no more T-shirts, etc. That would cause such a distraction for the ones making the big bucks, jealousy/conflict among those who wouldn`t get extra $$, etc. And the ones making big bucks would likely make that their priority(couldn`t blame them) instead of being a student. I know, I`m not stupid, a lot of them are there already. Instead of ruining the college programs, someone just needs to come up with minor leagues for football, and let the guys who want to play in it skip college, just like baseball, etc. I know, it`s not the same but they will ruin college sports if this is enacted.
