"These kids should tak on the NCAA, Everyone makes money off the system but the kids, for what??? A college education that will make them at best an accountant, financeer, or teacher???"

How about all of the athletes in sports that don't make money. How about at schools that don't make enough in athletics to cover the cost of the sports programs? I guess a quality education isn't enough of a reward.

My opinion is that we could allow the superstars to "endorse" products for money. What is the difference between that and any part time job where they can earn money to pay for rent, etc.

The difference is simple. I get a job at the restaurant or at the market by appying for the job as "me" with my skills. An athlete is only "who he is" because he has received free money from a school, most being publically funded. They are only in the position to be famous and endorese something because they are getting a free ride and because of the College or University they attend. Where I can make $6 to 7$ an hour working based upon employment I gained only by myself, the athlete would be profiting from his free tutition status funded typically by taxpayers(in one way or another).
