Tutorials » on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action

Wisconsin senior forward Nigel Hayes said he held a sign last weekend on ESPNs College GameDay saying he was a broke college student. The demonstration, according to Hayes, was to?help?future student-athletes get compensation for playing major college sports.Hayes, who joined the ESPN/ABC News podcast Capital Games on Thursday, said he knows he wont benefit from his activism since he will be a professional next year. If this thing does change, I wont benefit from it and its completely fine, Hayes said?on Capital Games.A lot of things that are changed, the person whose doing the change or advocating for it, rarely reaps those benefits, Hayes said. Im doing it for the hopes that if there is another kid when Thanksgiving comes around and he wants to see his mother, hell be able to have those couple of dollars to buy a plane ticket to go home and see his family.Hayes said he knows hes not a typical broke college student. He also said the funds raised by his sign went to a local Boys and Girls Club and that it was cleared by the Wisconsin compliance department after the weekend, when he reviewed the matter with the school.He said he faces no potential violations for his actions.I did it to create the conversation of paying student-athletes. I dont need money personally, Hayes said. Im not necessarily the embodiment of broke. I definitely have the things I need in college, and my family can help me out. But I cant generalize that and speak for everyone. So I want to be a voice for those who arent in the fortunate position Im in. The sign was to be the voice. A voice doesnt travel as far.Hayes said he does have access to exceptional medical care, travel and gear by being a high-profile student-athlete. He said he receives $1,500 a month in a cost-of-attendance stipend. Athletes have money for food,?according to Hayes, but?most of them dont have the necessary funds?for extracurricular activities, going out or even buying plane tickets to go home.Hayes said his food stipend ran out once.We ran out of money on our [Wisconsin] eating cards and dining hall money, Hayes said. There were a couple of weeks we didnt have money for food, so we were just hanging around the locker room and trying to find whatever was in there or at a training table close by. We werent allowed to get more money.Hayes said he would be fine with a payment system in which the best players on the team received more than the bench players.(Former Badger) Frank [Kaminsky] got more playing time than one of the guys at the end of the bench because he was a better player. If we were in the market where they were allowed to pay us for our image likeness and Frank is the better player and gets more, then thats understandable, Hayes said. Its like you would with anything in the world not related to sports. The better you are in your job, the higher you get paid for it.Hayes said college athletes should be able to market themselves for money and take advantage of their likeness and image. If that were to happen, then maybe the schools wouldnt necessarily have to pay any players. If you just allowed outside sources to market and pick and choose who they want, then theres no way you can say someone is doing something unfairly.Hayes also spoke about two high-profile social justice issues. He said he supported teammate Bronson Koenigs decision to?protest against the Dakota Pipeline project on protected Native American lands. Hayes added that no discussions have taken place on whether the Badgers?will protest or do anything symbolic during the national anthem.So far, we havent discussed as a team anything, and myself personally, I havent pegged anything that I was going to do or if I will do anything, Hayes said. But I still support (Niners quarterback) Colin Kaepernick 100 percent. He has a right, and hes kneeling for a flag that promotes justice and equality for all, and justice and equality isnt given to all in this country.
