I would say 90% of them have had multiple surgeries as a result of their playing. How many average student can say that as a result of going to college ?
I've had 4 surgeries in the last 5 years all a result of college football. UF has not paid a damn dime nor do they bare any responsibility. I've had to come out of my pocket for each one. I have short term memory loss and have to take pain medication just to function. All due to football. I don't blame the university because I love the school and would do it again in a heart beat but when I see threads like this, it pisses me off. I don't think the university owes me anything, but for anyone to think that athletes are OVER paid or given a FREE ride, they don't know the frick they're talking about.

That is exactly what am talking about. I have known many in your situation and like you they do not hold any animosity toward the schools or sport. Too many people are like the poster, they would love to trade their college experience for those of pampered athletes, but they never see the effects of that lifestyle.

My guess is that while you may feel your former school owes you nothing,
there are other athletes who feel differently. One good class action lawsuit
could put all college sports on the chopping block.
