It’s a 21st-century variant of the slave trade, IMHO.

we should all wish to be slaves then, if it meant $120,000 college scholarships...not including the adoration, the face time, the big man on campus schtick...

my kids still paying on their college loans, and being good citizens and tax payers as well......nobody gave them a thing.....

It is the institutions taking advantage of students. The grad rate for the student athletes would probably be equal to the rest of the student body if it wasn't for the revenue athletes.

I'm actually surprised the rate for graduation is that high. Do you know who has the highest graduation rate in div I basketball? The answer isn't one team, it's one coach. It is any team coached by Bobby Knight. Despite all his antics he must care for his students enough to keep them engaged in school.
