Message: [QUOTE="CarolinaCuse, post: 4494692, member: 510"] Less than 2% of all college football players make it to the NFL. That means 98% benefit from a free education and the network a collegiate experience brings (i.e, student-athletes, alums, professional networks, etc.). Does that mean they are entitled to the equitable rewards or revenue from a university with hundreds of years of history, investment, alumni, name recognition, etc.? I don't think so. As long as the student benefits and as long as they get to choose the path they take... which a large number do appropriately if they complete their degree, purely based on the main mission of the university. I can think of a many fields within a university which benefit (or not) disproportionately from their interns/co-ops/workers. In reality, no college or university would be as strong as they are without their academic mission and their graduates... even student-athletes. [/QUOTE]
