Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 3778963, member: 615"] but your assumption is that the players aren't already getting additional monies, room, board, health insurance, pell grants, etc. With school at 75k per clip the "pocket money" is beginning to round into a legit professional salary for someone that is 18 with no skill other than basketball or football. These things cost money. I think they are getting compensated it's just not the free market that is doing it. I suspect if this goes full compensation route, there will be a rot of the benefits the lesser athletes receive over time. The house of cards to me then falls apart and schools won't find it appealing to run as many teams, etc and may stop underwriting the band, etc. [/QUOTE]
