Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 911022, member: 2265"] Obviously, that is absurd. The schools make billions off of these kids. The simple fact is that the trade has gotten way out of balance. The concept of play for education has been grotesquely distorted by the NCAA rules as the revenue from BB and FB skyrocketed. They won't even let these kids have the rights to their own likenesses. Just greedy bastards. The trade is out of balance and needs to be renegotiated. Universities have become just like big business grabbing every penny they can and not giving a damn about these kids. There out to be law that taxes any net profit the schools make on athletics so as to force them to spend it on athletic programs and the "student athletes" welfare or fork it over to Uncle Sam. The way it is currently run it is just a business like any other. [/QUOTE]
