Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 5051688, member: 2196"] I mean seriously, isn’t it crazy how these schools/NCAA make millions of dollars off these athletes. And the Fans are the ones still footing the bills? It’s crazier and crazier the more I think about it. The fans have to pay the bill for the team to be good and then the university just pockets the income they make from the conferences and ticket sales. Like am I taking crazy pills? Yea I know professional sports teams make money off of media deals and ticket sales too. But that money pays for the players and every thing else with that franchise. Then the owner pockets some money. In this scenario, fans are paying these kids 2-4 million in college basketball alone to play for a school they are fans off. Meanwhile the School doesn’t owe a dime and it’s up to the school to reinvest in staff and facilities as they deem necessary. [/QUOTE]
