To pay or not pay college athletes is not the issue

By PAUL NEWBERRY

We should’ve moved on from the issue of whether to pay or not to pay at least some college athletes. Given the billions that are generated by massive tele- vision deals and 90,000-seat stadiums — not to mention those pesky antitrust laws — it should be accepted by all sides that some sort of compensation is not only fair, but inevitable. At this point, the discussion needs to be moving on to more complex questions, such as: Who gets paid? How much should they receive? What can be done to ensure gender equality? Will non-revenue sports survive? An Associated Pres survey of athletic direc- tors around the country revealed the tired ol’ gripes we’ve been hearing for years about any efforts to put more money in the pockets of those who are powering the revenue rocket ship. Namely, that it will destroy every college sport other than football and men’s basketball. “What little revenue 95% of institutions realize through revenue sports, goes toward supporting other sports,” one AD wrote in the survey, which allowed the responders to remain anonymous. “Paying those 5% of students will devastate the other teams that rely on that revenue to survive.” Their View But that long-standing contention isn’t likely to hold up for much longer, especially when listening The Montana Legislature is ment intended for them to amendment is that units of their communities, how many to a U.S. Supreme Court that seemed very sympa- working this week on plans to receive.

The Harris Family: Bill, Renee, Zach, Kolby, Lainey and Lexi, have created a business that their whole family can take part in. In December, they opened the Cattlemen’s Standard, with the overall mission to, “provide high-quality meat at affordable prices while ensuring that you, the con- sumer, knows exactly where your beef comes from.” Their family has been raising cattle for four gen- erations and are currently ranching in the prairie land 10 miles north of Cir- cle, Montana.
