Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 136559, member: 1023"] The simple free market proposals would seem to make college sports just another professional league of sorts. Perhaps the answer is to let colleges be colleges and continue to offer free educations for players who genuinely qualify. In combination with that, there can be minor leagues used to groom talent for the big time. No more age limits. No restrictions on what players could be paid. I might couple this with a kind of "STOCK MARKET" in which players could sell "FUTURES" in themselves. Players could go as far as their skills will take them. Plenty of flaws here...but there are plenty of flaws in the current system. Not the least of which is that the people who generate huge college revenues get no pay. [/QUOTE]
