No one is forcing the coaches to recruit these high level kids who may or may not believe that their skills have monetary value beyond the scholarship. I love what the Northwestern football players are doing. If it comes to it I hope our basketball and football players choose to unionize. I also love seeing the handwringing of people who think that the athletes get enough as it is. Seeing the way so many fans turn against players when they go through a bad stretch on the field or court or choose to put themselves over the happiness of their fans puts me even more on the side of the players. The NCAA and its member institutions, including Syracuse, are such hypocrites when it comes to this BS notion of the student athlete. It's fun watching it start to burn. [/QUOTE]
