  In recent years, as the debate over amateurism in college athletics has raged on, the question often arises: How much money does a top football player truly generate? A study by researchers at Ohio State University released this week tried to provide an answer, and the figures are robust. According to the study, five-star recruits are worth an average of $650,000 per year to their program. The study, co-authored by Ohio State economics professor Trevon Logan, uses football revenue data from 2002 to 2012 for all Football Bowl Subdivision schools as well as the recruiting database of Rivals.com. It operates on a two-step procedure. Researchers started by inferring the value of high-level recruits on team performance by tracking the rankings of recruits at one school in a given year and the program's wins and bowl appearance from that season.

The second step involved determining the effect these results - wins and bowl appearances - have on total revenue. Absent from the study was any mention of the value provided by coaches, the people who actually do get paid - in most cases, quite handsomely - on a college football team. Instead of insisting players get paid, the goal of the study seemed to be to evaluate how much a player should be paid compared with his teammates, based on the value he brings to his team's success. - Baltimore Sun
