It's not just college athletics, it just finally caught up with the times in how the rest of the employment world works.

One gets a job out of college, and has an undergraduate degree in business.  A degree mind you, that, let's just say, isn't that difficult to obtain.  For the most part, the vast majority of the skills you will develop, etc. is learned [I]"on the job." [/I] So, your employer, again, for the most part, hires you based upon your potential, etc.

After a few years of this [I]"on the job training"[/I] you now use that, know how, leverage, etc. in either negotiating higher pay with your current employer, or, go on (as many do) to one that will pay you more.  I doubt for a moment one thinks about that employer who took the "risk," gave you that opportunity, spent considerable amount of coin training you, etc. to actually make you productive.  The vast majority just say, [I]thank you[/I] [I]very much[/I] and move on...as that was then and this is now type deal.

What I find, let's just say, insulting, is the facade that is NIL, when it's truly pay for play.  Moreover, I find it, um, how about, interesting, that so many folks are so willing to play along and enable it by contributing to such a masquerade of a system.  Especially, with it being non sustainable longer term.
