I will bet there is no rule against an athlete getting a free lunch while an agent is making his pitch.

And you'd lose that bet. And you still haven't given a reason for the double standard between top tier athletic ability and intellectual savant treatment about prospective employment other than a general sense of jealousy.

The upper echelon of Intellectual college students are never facing an opportunity to acquire the wealth we are talking about. It is not even close.

There is no double standard. We are not even talking about the same thing.

Also, when was the last time a student got in trouble with the NCAA for getting a free lunch from an agent? The trouble usually arises when the college athlete/student accepts something more. Usually it is the athlete/student who is making the demands as was demonstrated in the article.

As I expected, you can't help making personal attacks. It does not bother me but it should concern you. In the heat of a reasonable disagreement, it just make your seem less than serious.
