Ex-college basketball player: NCAA shouldn't pay players

Former Division I basketball player Cody McDavis explains why he thinks college athletes should not be paid. #CNN #News

[billpool]

Wonder if he was against student athletes being paid when he was in school

[diigentace]

No college coach should be a millionaire period. A redistribution of money paid to coaches and other non players etc needs to be reevaluated.

[alicesrabbit]

LMFAO, brought to you by the NCAA millionaires who bought a lobbyist so they can buy a third vacation home.

[CatACor.]

What?!!! Speak for yourself. These dudes are paying for free and making others millionaires.

[AngryGPT]

They reaching out to him saying "Don't pay us" lmao

[IsmokeHiphopLive]

OF COURSE THE WASH UP PLAYER WOULD SAY THIS lol

[danieldominguez]

How much did the NCAA pay this guy yo say that?

[alexseioo]

So, he thinks this young people should work for free and somebody else should get rich off their sweat. Hmm, i think i heard that somewhere before.

[eon]

He lost me when he said "where's the money coming from". Doesn't it come from the ticket sales and merch? If I'm missing something please let me know.

[cbrwn]

Absolute BS these players can't even get jobs bc of the practices, games, and ya know BEING IN COLLEGE. college athlete's should be compensated from the MERCH AND TICKETS THEY SOLD. I don't particularly like hearing about when they're so hungry their coach has to buy them food or give them food money. That makes them show ponies AND IT IS WRONG.

[sqezest]

Well pay the coaches what they pay the professors...

[shermandudley]

Ok then get rid of the rule that bans players from working or making money off their likeness

[cormel]

I don’t give a damn how much tuition they pay, giving 40k for 1 or 2 years isn’t enough to overwrite the hundreds of millions these kids bring in. If they received a portion of what they helped earn they could pay their own damn tuition and still have more left 👌🏾💯.

[papigrande]

So, the schools that are making hundreds of millions on their programs, shouldn't pay their players because the smaller schools can't afford to do the same? Not buying it bro.

[quincypope]

Tell the coaches to coach for free just like the athletes who play for free

[czar]

I believe that he’s speaking for himself and just the fact that he didn’t get paid to play college basketball, he believes students now a days shouldn’t get paid as well. I mean think about it, which college student would say no to money?

[LJRoss-zvhw]

Spread the money equally among every conference. This guy is a fraud.

[ionly]

So they parade a half breed to justify not paying black players 😀🤣😆🤣😆🤣 he is that Samuel L Jackson character in Django

[christianevans]

😶😶 All I want to know is, if it's all about the program why do all the coaches make millions dollar deals, shouldn't they be a team player type of coach and take a 100, 000 dollar deal instead? But coaches don't want to hear that bullsh"*, they know how much the sports bring in.

Keep in mind that a scholarship is not always a fair trade for your talent if you are not gifted scholastically as well.
