I'm glad you are back on track.  The majority of student athletes are not going pro and make the most of the scholarship.

However, integrity demands that we be honest and recognize not all schools play by the rules (which is part of why the schools set up a policing agency to enforce rules).  I gave samples of UNC and SEC schools wherein players rarely, if ever (yes, UNC, I am pointing at you), attend class.  There are players that are not academically worthy of a scholarship.  Not being worthy of a scholarship does not equate to non-improvement.  I doubt anyone on this board would argue that people should stop learning because we all understand that learning is a lifelong process.  Yet, there remain minimum academic standards for scholarships and all players should be required to meet them.

It was your bias that presumed a post was alluding to non-growth because the players were not eligible to begin with.

Back to the OP: I understand the fundamental point that many believe a player should make as much money as fast as they can, the alleged purpose of the California law.  I agree, in principle, not in their execution nor in the simple belief that this will eliminate corruption.
