Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 440143, member: 173"] What is quaint is the idea that giving kids scholarship for an education they may or may not want or be able to utilize even if they did is adequate compensation for working in a multi-billion dollar industry. (It's not like there is any other viable option for someone that wants to pursue a professional athletics career, so "just don't take the deal if you don't like it" isn't really an option either - although people that really like to believe the system is fair pull it out anyway...) As long as people want to continue to believe that lie, weird and bizarre rules are going to exist in order to perpetuate the illusion. Just don't look behind the curtain. As far as UT, whoever takes the job better have figured out a way to keep up with the salaries the players at the other SEC schools are making - otherwise they'll be out of a job in 3-4 years (max). Clearly they aren't paying a competitive wage right now. [/QUOTE]
