Let's be 100% transparent. Our situation is apples and Oranges to theirs. We learn on the job and we have a ceiling. Most of our careers will max at what...250k? 300 at most unless you are a Harvard educated CEO. Most of us probably started in the 40k range. That's Pickles compared to their starting peanuts.
Athletes have insane competition just to get hired, have a super high ceiling, but also a super short shelf life (unless you're Aaron Fing Rodgers. Please die already). The investment is before they get hired, and the potential is (imho) insane.
There's no comparison here. Best not to try.
Bilas sounds like another P5 suck-up. Athletes will have to accept restrictions on compensation if they want roster spots on some programs. Deal with it or join the military!
