AND they will never be paid. The Universities are not going to pay every player on all teams and eventually that is what would be required.

They don't have a better opportunity to get an education especially when it comes to demanding sports such as college football/basketball. You think practice time, gym time and travel time leave much room for getting an education? These kids practically work full-time, not many students do that. 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?
