Pay "university" coaches what they pay postdocs and see how many still
do it "for the love of the game".

Apparently the enjoyment is not sufficient for the majority, because
here has a been a long discussion going on for several years about the
difficulty getting qualified reviewers. Then, over on the sports
side, a rapidly increasing number athletes in football are retiring
early (at least that was said on KC radio this week).
Having said that, I doubt paying reviewers would be much encouragement
for someone who is making over 70K.
I did not miss the point, I just think the point is losing relevance
in relation to the problem.

You’re missing the point - athletes like to play sports and some
scientists like to review manuscripts. It is the enjoyment that drives
them, not the money.

paying reviewers is in no way related to paying athletes.
The athletes are largely student.
Most reviewers are not students.
However, one could argue that reviewing is part of a scientist's job.
Yet, its a part that most institutions provide no credit for.
ITs a really screwed up situation.

And then there is the argument that some just enjoy reviewing papers –
pro

opportunity to
be involved in cutting edge science albeit the very periphery, before
it is
widely distributed. Interesting how this relates somewhat to the debate
about paying college athletes

"So why not try this: If academic work is to be commodified and turned
into
a source of profit for shareholders and for the 1 percent of the
publishing
world, then we should give up our archaic notions of unpaid craft labor
and
insist on professional compensation for our expertise, just as doctors,
lawyers, and accountants do."

“Nothing is more priceless and worthy of preservation than the rich
array of animal life with which our country has been blessed. It is a
many-faceted treasure, of value to scholars, scientists, and nature
lovers alike, and it forms a vital part of the heritage we all share
as Americans.”

1973 into law.
