Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2328574, member: 966"] A scholarship doesn't have to be "money" to have Value. No one pays coaches or administrators in scholarships because they already have degrees. But, yes, professionals ARE offered money for continuing education as part of benefits package. College is, for everyone else, the platform upon which you develop and display professional skills. Not sure why it should be any different for kids who can shoot a basketball and play the same game they always start playing for free because they love it. No one starts 'accounting' at age five because of a love of tax code. And college is where a player's brand is built, so that he has a reason to demand millions when he becomes a professional. Tickets to high school and junior high and cyo games generate revenue, too. Should kids be paid from 10 years old? Get a share? The principal is the same, whether the NCAA is profitable or not.
