All these letters about how wrong it is to pay our college athletes are a little late in coming. Where was all the concern a few years ago when the NCAA put this deal together and agreed to do it?

If anyone should be against it, it should be me. I was an Olympic swimmer who competed at a much higher level than most college football players. Did I make any money to compete? Nope. Am I in favor of these guys getting paid? Yep.

All the complaining about this is way too late. It’s a fact of life, folks. The only way to not have it happen is to not have a football team. Not sure that will happen.
