BS. You make it sound like they get something for nothing. These players sacrifice their health for a school tuition worth about $60k. A player like Clowney, LF, Deshaun Watson, AJ green etc makes a university millions alone. It's not a fair trade off at all. Slavery is not a term that should be used here but quit acting like the players are being done a favor.
Nobody, NOBODY!!!! is fricking forcing them to do it, it is their own will!, if they don't like it they can try it on their fricking own!

That's not the point. The point i am making is their scholarships aren't free. The amount of hours put into the sport is enough for a full time job, then they're also required to keep a certain gpa. $60k is the least a university should be paying them. A player like Tahj Boyd was a 4 year starter for Clemson. He took them to the orange bowl and kept them in the top 10. He went undrafted, so basically he helped a university make millions while receiving a $40k "education." Not a fair trade.
