FREE EDUCATION
TBI’s, soft tissue injuries, CTE, etc... You have to be an extremely naive person to not understand the landscape of major collegiate athletics.

Everyone suggests “free education.” What the hell does that even mean? If a student is offered an academic scholarship, does that student then face the same level of physical and mental demand that D-1 football players face?

Anyone care to put a value on just the personal strength/ conditioning and nutrition coaching these football players receive?
How about the personal coaching. to develop into their best position to go to the NFL and succeed?
How about the academic coaching they receive, is that free for a regular student?
Is the legal advice they get on dealing with future agents free?
How about the draft grades and Pro Days? Are those things free?
I see no mention of the absolute fact that many colleges take these young men in when they are in no way physically or mentally developed to play in the NFL after graduating high school, yet they are given 5 years to do such. Plus the players get free marketing during their college careers.
Now most leave after 3 years of college ball if they can.
How is this completely unfair to the athletes?

You do realize that the NFL is the one causing them to sit out for 3 years before they go pro right? The NCAA isn't the one that controls that. You also realize that you could just not go to college? If you feel that a group of people are taking advantage of you and riding on your coat tails to make money while providing you nothing to get to the next level, why would you voluntarily participate in that? I mean youre so good, after high school just work out at the local park, send film of it to the NFL and work a normal job and get paid like you feel you deserve. I mean those coaches and fancy schmancy schools arent doing anything but using you so you should be totally fine.
