[QUOTE="BonafideJacket, post: 639117, member: 1011"] Come on, you could do that all day. The legitimate reason is because we decided as a society that, in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics, students could not profit monetarily from their skills and achievements and we established a private organization to enforce that decision. In return for their labor, they are provided certain benefits. The students know the restrictions coming in and tacitly agree to abide by them. Nobody forced them to participate. They are free to get paid however they want outside of participation in college athletics. We often agree to restrictions we don't necessarily believe in. Why do I have to return a rental car with a full tank of gas? Why can't I vote for a president from one party and vice president from another? Why do I have to show up for work sober? That doesn't mean we can't change those restrictions because our thinking as a society has evolved. And changing them doesn't mean the prior system was illegitimate. [/QUOTE]
