Message: [QUOTE="imdevo, post: 3779221, member: 1759"] Add all of that up and then compare it to the revenue being generated by these athletes. You think the school or the NCAA is losing money here? They are literally printing $ and your argument is because they pay: - Tuition bills (Schools DESIGN programs so high level athletes can pass and still be eligible - you think they give a crap about their education? lol) - Free clothes (Pretty sure most schools sell used jerseys for quite a bit of $ after it has been used by certain players) - Medical bills (rest of student population's tuition covers this expense) - "Markets you for your next job" - 3.8% for football. 1.2% for basketball. And that doesn't mean they'll have a lengthy and healthy career. NCAA execs though, raking in all the cash from TV contracts, advertisements, sponsorships, events...etc. etc. If someone is going to make money off of you, you need to be compensated properly. They are not. [/QUOTE]
