[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 1004440, member: 282"] Do 18-19 year old athletes who have spent the majority of their focus on becoming top-tier pro athletes make great financial judgments? Or act in the best interests of the sport and the fans? For all but a few, the answer is “no”. With a slew of relatives and others in their ears 24/7, it would be hard to act that way, even if it was smart—and who says it’s smart for them? But even if you forgive that the ADs and Commissioners and NCAA staff ignored the elephant in the room before Alston, the Supreme Court lit their house on fire in that decision, and the collective response has been to wait for someone else to put out the blaze while they toast marshmallows There’s blame to go around, but the 70-year old men with a lifetime to develop good judgment have shown none. Folly in a 20-year-old is one thing, but from men (and it’s almost all men) at the peak of their careers is another. [/QUOTE]
