Myles Jack leaving UCLA shows why players shouldn't get paid

I'll start off by saying I don't know the reason he's leaving for sure but he still has a chance to get an education at a world class institution. Why not stay and finish up his degree?

That's because he's not there for a degree. He was there to star at football at UCLA and use them for publicity and highlight tapes for the NFL.

What I'm saying is that this is a two-way street. The institutions exploit and rip off the student athletes but so do the athletes exploit the schools.

I'm all for arguments that the athletes should be paid in various ways beyond a stipend because it's sucks being a broke college student, especially one that can't get a job while attending (with plenty of these athletes coming from impoverished backgrounds) but it should also be recognized that in the high profile sports, the athletes are using the school as much as the other way around.

That is all.
