And if they are - and it is possible that turning off that tracking stuff really doesn't turn it all off - that doesn't make it right. Or make it right for the SEC to require the equivalent tracking on college players.

Let's dig down into this - because this "they're doing it now" line really chaps my arse. There are cameras at every intersection in every major city. They're filming us all now. So how about we install a camera on your dash - wireless linked to your insurance provider. What's the problem ? You're getting filmed already.

Or how about this line of thinking "Hey, don't like it - don't play". OK - let's say the SEC decides every ballplayer has to take a morality pledge, or start providing DNA samples, or any such other requirement. Now tell me - are there really no limits to what the SEC can require in exchange for that scholarship ?

Of course not. What we're seeing here is how some people just like the idea of mandatory tracking. Guess what - their likes won't be limited to just ball-players sooner or later.
