$20,000 a year for an education is not worth what elite football players bring to big schools. the NCAA is a travesty.

I actually think its a pretty fair deal.

I worked my way through college. Full time job, paid my living expenses and college costs. If anyone had offered me a sports scholarship I would have jumped at it.

Big sports like football and basketball generate revenue, but other sports are a revenue drain on a school, yet they also give out scholarships. The larger sports pay for the smaller ones.
