If you believe college athletes need extra compensation to be able to dedicate all their time and effort into performing well at their sport for their school, we need your help! Athletes bring in millions upon millions to their institutions without pay while coaches stand around raking in those millions for just barking demands. Because of this, many players cannot afford the things they will need for school such as books, meals, housing, and other supplies and gear. We propose that the NCAA should set up a way for college athletes in Division 1 to be paid – in a fair and regulated manner. Sign this petition for change!
The reach of this petition has hit a threshold that allows me to initiate formal discussions with representatives at the conference level. I am currently drafting a letter of inquiry to present our framework for regulated compensation to the NCAA board of directors.

It is just exploitation under the guise of amateurism. The NCAA needs to get with the times.

These kids make the schools so much money. It is just wrong that they can barely afford to eat while the coaches get huge bonuses.

My brother played ball in college and he was broke the whole time. Had to skip meals just to buy gear for class. Ridiculous.

Stop holding the players back while the networks and schools get filthy rich off their backs. Everyone sees what is going on.
