Ravens WR: NCAA athletes deserve extra pay

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace sounded off on college football players not getting paid enough after Alabama's national championship victory over Georgia.

"It's just a messed-up system and messed-up situation," Wallace said Tuesday night. "But it's not going to change."

Wallace's criticism began Tuesday afternoon, when he responded to a tweet about Alabama coaches receiving $1.27 million in bonuses from winning the national title. When contacted Tuesday, Wallace said the coaches deserve that money but believes there's enough to go around to the athletes.

Wallace recounted how he would only have $180 each month after paying his bills and wouldn't know where his next meal would come from.
