Horsefeathers. They are getting a free-ride academically. I sure would have loved for my kids to get a free ride, would have saved me about a hundred thousand dollars in tuition.
Now, the fact they don't take advantage of it, is a whole other discussion.
Sure they get scholarships but that's mostly a sham because the degrees they earn are virtually useless.
In the meantime they generate billions for everybody else. It's not fair. They are being used.
And that's the plain truth of it.
If they were paid it would put the NBA out of business. If they were paid there would be no need to give them an education for free. How about they pay for school like others do and then give them a small wage to exist on campus.
Wanting to be in the NBA should mean a person has to invest something for the chance to win an NBA slot.
