Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1753513, member: 297"] You know, there's a bigger picture here that people are missing - they're worried about college sports, but how about being worried about education? See, there are all kinds of reasons why tuition costs continue rising. Unfortunately, it's hard to make the argument that it's rising because higher education keeps improving by so much. Availability of loans, distortions from the for-profit sector, the arms race among academic buildings and dorms, etc. are all factors. Given all of the money that pours in thanks to college sports you would think that would mitigate some of that rise, but it doesn't really. If schools start directly paying players the cost of education will increase - do you want the tuition your kid pays to be supporting that? Would they get enough value from the athletes to say it enhances their education? You can avoid all of that crap by simply allowing the players to sign endorsements. [/QUOTE]
