What could we do with the money made from the games?

Ok, I can understand for baseball, but football? They only play what, 16 games during the season?
Actually, if college baseball players can play, go to school and work then why not the pro's?

None of them would.
Without paying them all those ridiculous amounts of money we could begin to put an end to world poverty and hunger.

Do you go to work for free every day? I know that I sure expect to be paid, and I don't think forced altruism is the way to go with athletes.

I'd expect all of them to give up playing, simply because they need money to live. To expect anyone to play for nothing, especially with the time these guys put into their profession, is crazy. And who should get the money? The same people who get the money in any other profession - those who generate the revenues, which in this case means the players.

Also, you mention that college players manage to play while working and going to school. I just wanted to point out that anyone on scholarship has serious restrictions on work, and can get in severe trouble for breaking that agreement.

none ... they have to support their families still ... nothing is ever done entirely for free. They would not have time to have another job to bring in annual income if they were playing 162 baseball games a year. So nobody would be able to play.

There would still be millions playing the game.
Those who are being paid the outrageous salaries are the best of the best.
Most of the people who play are paying for the privilege.
