Not to mention the fact that if they quit the team to concentrate on their academics they will lose their scholarships. It's fcking racket is what it is.


How about you pay players whose sport generates money? How about you allow a student athlete to quit the team and keep their free ride?

I am sure they have a demanding schedule, but I know there are student athletes that excel both academically and on the field/court. They undoubtedly have at their feet, any manor of tutor and aid that can be had anywhere. It is still their choice to dedicate themselves to it or not. I submit many proably do not get serious as they aspire to go pro (and in their defense who would not think that).
Paying those who generate revenue is one lawsuit from failure.....
