In reply to: yes, they are spending that kind of time posted by jt

Notre Dame students do and receive no compensation. They go to class, study and work out on a regular basis and likely play some sports for their hall.

Yes, in-season, the work load for athletes is intense and greater than most have and for that extra effort and performance for the school, they get paid a scholarship. In the case of Notre Dame that compensation is equal to $100,000 per year...nice bank for an 18-22 year old. In the off-season, the work load is much less.

And again some of the athletes deserve more, most, 90-95%, don't other than the scholarship they received. Only a few deserve a lot more, some just a bit more. Just look at the concept of "WAR or Wins Above Replacement Level" in major league baseball. Most college athletes would have O WAR or negative WAR. Or the plus/minus concept in basketball...why pay a "minus" athlete more?
