[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 809573, member: 3774"] im sure I’ll get yelled at for responding to each point but …… I understand what free is, it’s a common word used by most people to say payment isn’t given. Athletes don’t pay so there’s that fact Greed isn’t a good thing, so if you don’t think defining 95% of AMERICA as greedy is bad, we’ll that’s your character trait. The value in calling someone greedy is in the fact that it identifies motive, generally meaning they want something they themselves didn’t earn. And no going to a free program for free access and exposure that isn’t given to others in their career paths isn’t earning not caring about educational,value is exactly the point. You are right, they are exploiting the schools value for something other than education and it’s free, my point exactly. and again u r correct, nobody would pay to watch them sit in class so the school pays the athlete his or hers value by not charging them to sit in the classroom they occupy. And last I checked the value is overrated, 3/4ths of these athletes never see the field. Excellent deal if you are on the 3rd string, free college degree and you don’t even play. again “free” meaning monetary exchange BTW none of us do anything for free, a concentration of effort is in everything and generated value of outcome isn’t always compensated - in any field. It’s where the concept of ‘it takes hard work to get what you want’ comes from [/QUOTE]
