Message: [QUOTE="bnoro, post: 3899064, member: 71"] If you can earn money, it's your right to use it as you please. Schools already educate their athletes on money management. If I started a business at Syracuse, and used my connection at Whitman to get investors and was rolling in the dough as a sophomore, I'd be lauded and have articles written about me on the school website, etc. So why would a football player be banned from selling a few t-shirts in a clothing line they created? Why would a basketball player not be allowed to sign some autographs so they could send some money back to their family? Why would a field hockey player not be allowed to get some extra spending money because they have 600k instagram followers? If your only argument is " they might get too much money and the life of the rich and famous" what is wrong with that? Let people live their lives the way they want to live them. In no way shape or form does this affect YOU. [/QUOTE]
