If it was up to the fans to decide, LSU footballers would take home $ 220,000 a year

Friends of college sports believe that NCAA football players should receive an average annual salary of $ 170,815 – if a major decision by the Supreme Court earlier this year had not categorically ruled out the salaries of college athletes. However, LSU fans were of the opinion that wages should be even higher, at $ 219,778.

This is according to a recent study by online sports betting Fanduel by 3,000 fans. When compared to the median NFL salary, the result of the study is starting to make more sense, the Fanduel report reads. Many are surprised to hear that the NFL’s median salary is only $ 860,000, and sports fans ’perception of the NFL’s salaries is influenced by the large contracts offered to novice quarterback players, often in excess of $ 5 million.

The study showed that Florida fans on teams like Florida State Seminoles, Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes exceeded the pay-waiting league. Fans think their players should get an average salary of $ 228,920 per season. On the other hand, supporters of Nebraska Cornhuskers, for example, think their players should be paid $ 91,160 per season. See report.
