If owners can rake in millions & billions the least they can do is fairly pay their labor unlike the NCAA. You can't have baseball games without baseball players. The only overpaid aspect comes to endorsements yet the companies think having an athlete endorsement increases the value of their company so I don't think they are overpaid on that aspect. It is similar to why A list actors have high salaries.

I do wonder what college football will be like. I have season tickets to see Arizona State. They have a really great Sophomore quarterback who is easily on track to make the pros I wonder how a suspension will affect his development. Arizona State is also doing really great in recruiting. I'm going to wait and see what happens.
