I have a third alternative for you. I have been saying for years now that college ball of any sort is really just semi-professional sports. NCAA really stands for No Colleges Are Amateurs (any more).

As have I. Most of those kids will never play in the "professional" league. Of the handful that do, only the tiniest fraction will ever have the kind of earning potential that they had in college.

To be fair to the kids involved, they really ought to be paid like the professionals they are.
