[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 809374, member: 4334"] Gotta disagree. They aren’t making millions and billions off these kids. They are making millions and billions off the school name on the jersey. The kids are interchangeable but the school name is not. And why do the kids take part in this system? It’s because this system allows them access to be on TV without them having to spend a dime out of their own pocket. How many other GT students get a free 3 hour commercial for themselves every Saturday in the fall? I have no problem with them monetizing themselves just like any other student can do. But don’t act like these players were being abused. I know many kids who never would have sniffed regular admission to GT but got in on athletic scholarships or preferred walk ons. And I know several high level kids who got deferred and are now at UGA who would run academic circles around these athletes. At least now we won’t have to hear about the poor huddled masses being abused in college sports any more. [/QUOTE]
