Message: [QUOTE="LeMoyneCuse, post: 3264720, member: 158"] College athletes are typically pigeon-holed into majors that don't yield careers (Family Studies? What does that even mean?) The scholarships and services they are given can't be used in any way aside from how the body they play under, the school they play for, and the staff they follow dictates. They frequently take on full time jobs (athletics) on top of school (which is often the lower priority) and are given little money (at least legally) to spend as they choose. All the while, the coaches they play for, the school they attend, the conference they compete in, and the sanctioning body all make absurd amounts of money. I know this will fall on deaf ears. But the ability to earn monetary compensation for the highly skilled labor employees are executing is literally the basis of US labor history. [/QUOTE]
