Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 741749, member: 338"] Very few D-1A players make a living at football once they leave school, and everyone, including the players, knows this. Why then do so many continue to do it? Why do thousands of young men line up every year to be exploited? This is especially relevant since they have other options. Go to a community college. Go to a vocational school. Just get a job and get on with life. There is a valuation issue here. If enough kids felt that they were being exploited, the stream of players would dry up. IMO the prospect of getting a free education, while playing a game they love to play, is enough reward for an awful lot of kids. What you and I consider to be fun, or exploitation, is irrelevant, as long as there is a steady stream of players who have made that decision for themselves. [/QUOTE]
