Mavericks center Chris Kaman joined BaD Radio 104.1 FM The Ticket on Thursday. Here are some highlights.
On if college athletes should be paid:
“I think they should get paid. I think it has to be based on the amount of funds they bring to the school because the school is making money on them and the NCAA is making money on them. Why can’t they get some? You can figure out how many jerseys sell this guy and how many jerseys sell that guy. It shouldn’t be one guy gets more than the other. It should be every body gets paid an equal percentage. (Education) is not free because you’re providing a service to the university that they can make money off of. (Education) is not a very fair payment.”
On if college athletes should make money by the hour like a regular job:
“I like that idea. I think it should be something similar to that. I’m not saying like paying them millions of dollars. I’m saying just give them to where they’re more than comfortable in Dallas because otherwise it doesn’t give them a reason to stay at all. They just want to leave.”
