Didn't mean to come across to strong, nothing personal here either.

I too believe that rules should be changed, the players given a stipend, health insurance, life insurance, etc. But that is not the case right now. Until it is the players will have to deal with the rules and the facts as they are.

Personally, I think baseball does it the best of the big sports (hockey too). They have an extensive minor league system, with pay, for those young men with talent who either finished college or prefer not to go to school. Thus the college level is not as fraught with money-grubbing and exploitation. Of course, people expect now a very high exciting level of collegiate football and basketball, so nobody is really trying to change this.
