You're right. Spending five years on that sociology diploma will really pay dividends.
lol...
You make it sound as if these kids, who announce their college intentions via ESPN, tweet nonstop, and who have been following ESPN since birth have no idea of how the system works.
The great one's get to train for pro jobs.
The average one's get to audition for pro jobs and get a free diploma, which does not have to be sociology.
The less-than-average one's get to keep playing a sport that they love, have an outside chance of maybe making a roster, and get a free degree.
The shitty one's get to keep playing a sport they love and have a chance to get a free degree.
This is not slave labor here.

All of this. I am not against giving the players a little spending money too, but that isn't on ESPN. That is on the NCAA and the universities that seem to blindly follow their rules.
