Message: [QUOTE="triplethrea, post: 2321766, member: 1574"] It still won't work as long as colleges make millions in TV revenue, merchandise, and tickets. Nobody really watches NCAA baseball, that's why it's a good model there. As long as the money is in NCAA basketball and football, players will continue to get paid, regardless if the best players choose to play elsewhere. The best players that stay in NCAA (3-4 year guys) will still be worth thousands or millions of dollars, especially as they gain name recognition by their later years. At some point, we need to stop pretending the education is worth anything to these players (or that we even care about their education), just like we pretended they weren't getting paid. Whether or not a college education is worth anything at all, is another topic altogether. [/QUOTE]
