Message: [QUOTE="RandomGuy, post: 3649620, member: 6422"] For 100 years folks have been wondering why players weren't otherwise compensated. The 32 times increase in revenue was spent elsewhere(inflation adjusted). More than enough to subsidize other sports(32 plus other teams). That doesn't even count basketball. You can argue that expenses have increased, but many of those were self imposed for the monetary gain of everyone involved but the student employees. The $$ has always been there. Mismanagement of it, by those that wanted it for themselves, is why there are labor laws. Why its going to the Supreme Court. Why people will look back and see a system that exploited young athletes for their own personal and institutional monetary gain. If not? Every company in America needs to adopt the amateur model.
