C.J. Stroud thinks student-athletes should share in the revenue generated from the Big Ten’s new TV deal, but Gene Smith says “frankly, they're already getting a piece.”

than that when the dust settles on the finer financial details. But Ohio State’s starting quarterback and athletic director have different takes on whether or not student-athletes should see a piece of that pie moving forward.

in July that he thinks about the topic “on a daily basis” and wants the conference to “be bold and a leader in that area as we work through what's right for our student-athletes.” “So they actually already get a piece. It might not be directly in their pocket, but it's an investment in them.” “I don't want anybody to feel bad for me, but at the same time it does take a lot of courage and it does take a lot of heart to be here day in and day out, year in and year out. So I definitely think it should be shared, but if not, at the end of the day we have the NIL space and we can do it that way. So the new college world has definitely turned around and I'm here for it.”

Well Gene the top players deserve more money than you sir. So their “piece” needs to be looked at

I don't see it happening. You start paying football players then basketball players, baseball, soccer, etc. will want their share

Still trying to act like a college education is worth a damn. No one cares. You can literally buy legit college degrees on the dark web.

Getting greedy now. Do NFL players get a share of TV deals? Maybe players should stop getting scholarships & pay their own way on NIL?

Absolutly without a doubt they deserve a share, they ARE the talent. I think the Gene Smith generation knows college football has changed but they don't seem to be able to get past the players getting paid what they deserve. OSU_AD you should know better, stay out of OPM!

Kind of a weak title. Stroud prefaced his comment with gratitude for everything they are given.

They're getting an education, I don't think that they need more.
