[SIZE=4][FONT=times new roman]That isn't my point though. Sumlin could be the best offensive coach in college history, but that wouldn't change the fact that amateurism in college sports is a complete farce. If you must, change the player and coach to Rice and Schiano.[/FONT][/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=4][FONT=times new roman]Think of all the money involved with the TV contracts we hear so much about that seem to never stop increasing, the enormous amount of investment in the form of stadium expansions and ridiculously over the top facilities like you see at Alabama and Oregon, the coaches making huge sums of money across the board at the FBS level- yet the players are still amateurs.[/FONT][/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=4][FONT=times new roman]What the players receive, a college scholarship, is very valuable. But when you start comparing that to what the colleges, college presidents, ADs, TV networks, and coaches receive from college athletics, what the athletes themselves get looks pretty small.[/FONT][/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=4][FONT=times new roman]So when a player could forfeit his ability to play for selling his own signature, it seems really ridiculous.[/FONT][/SIZE]
