If all the bleeding hearts end up destroying college athletics with this overly emotional, ill-thought out plea to quit "exploiting" these poor kids, it's going to be sadly funny when none of them have a chance at a college degree.

If the system changes, I want the universities to go to the mattresses against the players. Charge them for access to the nutrition, weight training, coaching, medical attention and exposure that the colleges provide. And then I hope the IRS taxes their pay. Be careful what you wish for.

Do it.

Players would still come out in the positive because the universities would still have to negotiate packages for their workers (insurance, nutrition, living, etc) like every other business in America. It would be a competitive market just like any other market or business in our market driven country.

If the university provides less or gives a weaker pavkage and offer, it will become obsolete because there will always be others willing to be conpetitive in this billion dollar market.

BTW, what has any player done ro you to bring so much anger and resentment?

The problem with your pov is that the NFL doesn't charge players that they pay, so why should universities?
