'Broke Badger' hopes GameDay sign starts debate

Wisconsin senior forward Nigel Hayes said he held a sign last weekend on ESPN's College GameDay saying he was a broke college student so he could help future student-athletes get compensation for playing major college sports.

Hayes, who joined the ESPN/ABC News podcast Capital Games Thursday, said in an extensive interview that he knows he won't benefit from his activism since he will be a professional next year. "If this thing does change, I won't benefit from it and it's completely fine,'' said Hayes on Capital Games.
