Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 3779100, member: 205"] I actually think the biggest worry will be investment funds being set-up to prey on impoverished 18-year olds. Look at Fernando Tatis (who I don't even think was poor -- his dad was a big league ball player). He likely got less than a million bucks or so when he was 18 years-old, now it is expected that he owes ~8% (or a range of 1%-12%, depending on what you read) of his third of a BILLION dollar contract to a bunch of rich dudes. (George W Bush's brother, an ex-Goldman Partner, and Paul DePodesta) It's impossible to find a big money industry in America that has access to youths that don't abuse the living hell out of it. If the NCAA steps up and does the right thing here, I hope it is done in a highly regulated manner and deals like that are completely banned still. [/QUOTE]
