We all know that college athletes have a raw deal. The amount of money these players bring in for their schools compared to the scholarships they receive is almost criminal.
A study done by the National College Player’s Association called, “The Price of Poverty In Big Time College Sport“, shows the estimated salaries that college players should be receiving. It also discusses how college players are basically living under the poverty level.
Below are the charts listing the top ten school’s salaries by sport (College Football and Basketball). Based on these results, the fact that players are getting two game suspensions for receiving $200.00 is hilarious. It also proves that I still have every reason to hate Duke.
College Football
College Basketball
Huge surprise…”The” Suckeyes are the only school on both lists. No wonder all their players feel obligated to take money.
Just think how many tattoos that could buy… TOLEDO ALMOST BEAT THE SUCKEYES! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Didn’t Michigan lose to Toledo a few years back?
