the NCAA is ridiculous.  Young Musicians and child actors can make money but 18-22 year old men can't?  Players should never be censored from making money of their talent while they can.  Once you're out of high school most kids need to support themselves.  Denying kids the opportunity to make money is downright cruel.  Think of all the people working at an SU game, and then its the players who are the only ones who don't get paid. If SU could pay its players then maybe kids like Jarron Jones stays home to play football.  The window for most kids to capitalize of their talents is during college and they should be able to cash in while they can. 
 
To me, the reason why we don't see a change is because there is no incentive for the people in charge.  University presidents, athletic directors, and coaches would probably half to take pay cuts to pay the players.  God forbid Rick Pitino make less then 7.5 million dollars a year.  Thats enough money to live for the rest of your life!!!!  Not one will speak out against the NCAA because they're living the good life and could really care less about the kids.   I know there will be someone someday with the balls to say what needs to be said.  I can't think of any other billion dollar enterprise where the main workers and the most valuable commodities don't get paid.  WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! WE ALL NEED MONEY TO SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD!!!! ( not directed to anyone here just saying in general).
