This is true. However, because of the lack of guidance and regulation as to _how_ colleges pay them, there are now NUMEROUS systems that have been created all over the country to limit the amount that they get paid as much as possible, making it _very_ difficult for prospective students to "cross shop" schools based on the offers they receive because the fine print that goes along with each and every one of them can be completely different. Even finding out exactly how much some of the most high profile college players make can be extremely difficult, if not impossible in some cases. Although, when all is said and done, it cannot be denied that even with all of these new flaws and complications, it is an undeniable improvement upon the previous system of universally prohibiting _any_ form of income or benefits to these players, who work so hard under incredible pressure, in part, for our casual entertainment. I highly recommend that anyone who watches college sports, or is considering participating in it, check out at least a couple of the many podcast episodes that have been made regarding this subject. If you're interested, the podcast "The Wild World of Money in College Football" by The Daily (from The New York Times) is a good one, and then I'm pretty sure that either the Vox or Wendover Productions KZfaq channels have made a video or two on the subject as well.

Actually, while they do get paid now, it's mostly only the most desirable players that get a fair amount, and it is very very difficult for students to cross shop schools based on offerings because each of the schools did different things to make sure they were paying the students as little as they could possibly get away with.

This show really made a difference. The NCAA has overturned their no-income-for-student-player rule and also has been sued and settled for anti-trust lawsuit. "The NCAA and its leagues announced their intention to enter into a multibillion-dollar agreement to settle three pending antitrust cases.[143] In doing so, the NCAA will pay more than $2.7 billion in damages over ten years to more than 10,000 past and current athletes.[143]" -Cited from Wikipedia

They could destroy it by letting the players be drafted after high school. And provide them an education while playing. Get all that 1% into the pro league and let those colleges with players who’s not going to make the pros. Let’s see how those sponsors like that. Things can change if it affects the bottom line. Sad but true.

You stop when the athletes are too young to be professionals, and at that point, instead of paying them, you have to demonetize their performance altogether. No one should be making money off beating up a 16-year-old's knees. 18+, they get to sell their knees if they want, and they should get paid. But younger than that, it's exploitation whether they get paid or not.

I never understood why sports are connected to education in the first place... well, I get having HS and college teams for people looking for fun, but if we are talking about people trying to make a living from it by getting into the NBA: (1) They should be paid. (2) It shouldn't require attending a college (although great if they do that too with their money paid).

Today, international companies can explore oil paying ZERO taxes. How? Some update from CHATGPT-4: Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato), which started during Dilma Rousseff's government, uncovered extensive corruption in Brazil. The U.S. DOJ was involved through evidence sharing and legal assistance, but allegations of illegal cooperation emerged. Critics argue that some exchanges bypassed formal channels, suggesting political bias and potential breaches of Brazilian sovereignty. Additionally, Judge Sérgio Moro participated in the DOJ's Bridges Project, which involved training in the U.S. This raised concerns about bias and improper influence on his judicial decisions, with the lack of transparency fueling suspicions.
