I agree that college athletes, especially football and basketball, are being used to generate billions for well connected, and I hate to say it "white guys", and are not being compensated.

It's a damn travesty and something should be done.

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.

Yeah right. They are all victims.

I rather suspect that the stars in the Big Time Programs are being compensated, both under the table and with cushy summer jobs.

At an unnamed basketball power many years ago, a star basketball center had a summer job which required him to sit in an air-conditioned room at a Bluegrass horse farm and make sure that no one stole the television set in the room. It was a rough summer for him.
