Message: [QUOTE="Funk Doc, post: 3001521, member: 5344"] I definitely understand that, and the relationship is mutual using from both parties. The schools are using the kids, and the kids are using the school. I would argue the compensation is not equal. It’s a much more simple fix and paying the players is a discussion that doesn’t even need to be had. Get the players union and NBA to allow high school kids in the draft again. You want to get paid to play. Get drafted or buy a ticket over the pond. You want to play and get a free all expense paid education, go to college. If their parents/guardians/agents etc, give them bad advice that’s on them. I also think the education should be valued more, but the amount of money some of these kids bring in to their schools is astounding. [/QUOTE]
