[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 622315, member: 628"] So i guess by logic if the ncaa makes money on the kid then every 4 years when they leave we should see dips in ncaa revenue right? Nope. Its because its the schools and fan affiliation that makes them money. The kids who play dont play for free they get perks all other students dont get on top of free rides. When they leave guess what. The stadiums still sell out and tv is still around. That’s because we fans still pull for gt even after calvin left. Thats the thing lost in all of this. To be honest if every ncaa team competed with not one athlete worthy of the pros; but the games were good and still competitive we would all still go and watch. No one is in the stands because of 2 nfl players that can make bank or sell their likeness while in college. We are there because of the school and being a fan. I am no less a fan when calvin was here or brad stewart. Its sad how everything had become its about me mantra in this world. Its about me on facebook. Instagram. Now its about me for college. The counterpoint to this is the athlete doesnt matter at all. They leave every 4 years. Its the brand and school. If a kid goes to school he waived his right to sell himself. Thats the rule. You dont like it tough. Selling yourself for money is not a right if u go to school. Simply make a minor league system and set up a deal a bit like baseball has [/QUOTE]
