"I can’t tell you I have the answers. We all have opinions but it’s my feeling that we have exploited college football, college athletics in general. We speak all the time about the welfare of the student-athlete and indeed that has not evolved as the most important thing. It’s been strictly about winning and dollars, maybe dollars first and winning second, or vice versa. I think we’ve sold out to the dollars and cents and we sold out to TV."

You mean that money is the end-all? I'm shocked to hear this.

I would agree with the blurb but also would say that college athletes have more resources now than even 10 years ago.

But is that a good thing? That's the point.
(Spoiler Alert: It's not a good thing)

I wish someone had exploited me as a college athlete.
I'll probably get these student loans paid off in 2068.

Why should athletes have any more resources than any other student?

First of all, college football players get perks most college kids only dream of getting. So let's stop there before we get into the "They should get paid" discussion.
Second, if the system sucks so bad, why do Snyder and other coaches who bang the drum on stuff like this continue to coach at this level? I don't see Snyder passing up his seven-figure salary.
Hypocrisy, plain and simple.

I don't know if it's a good thing, I just know that it's the way it is, and it's not going to change. I get that people aren't necessarily comfortable with it, but we're not reeling it in at this point.

I do agree that the NCAA needs to be disbanded. Very corrupt organization.
