$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.

so, the D1 running back who blows out his knee did it for the good of the women's volleyball team?

not buying it. they should be paid in some way. or that ridiculous rule about not being able to enter the draft until 3 years removed from your last high school game should be tossed.

they are literally stopping these guys from being able to make a living. all the while the NCAA makes millions and millions.
