Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 5360845, member: 686"] I don't disagree with anything you've written. I'm just very down on college sports right now. It feels like something I loved has gone bad (football has been a bright spot). It stinks that it has all been reduced to the amount of money schools are throwing at athletics. Yeah, I get it, money was always being spent in the dark, but winning and losing wasn't so dependent on $. It used to be spent to get recruits. Now, it's used more to take developing players from teams that depend on developing players, so that the "haves" get the top HS recruits [I]and[/I] the top developing players. The biggest scam is being played out on the fans. Can you imagine a pro team asking the fans to contribute to a fund, in addition to paying for tickets and merch, to help pay the players while still reaping big bucks? [/QUOTE]
