Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 1006714, member: 1526"] They get crumbs compared to ___________. Like most of us. That does not mean they are not fairly compensated. The vast majority of D1 athletes on full scholarships will not make it to the next level. i.e. when they enter the post-college market and shop themselves around, most don't find buyers. I think that says something about what they are worth as athletes in the market. As for making money from their fame. They have fame, in a great part, because they play at certain schools that get a lot of exposure. Yes, those with fame are usually the better players on these teams. However, does anyone think its not a train wreck to have the famous cashing in while the others on the team get nada? And for those who poo poo the educational aspect now, it will be come non-existent later when all these guys are concentrating on marketing themselves. [/QUOTE]
