[QUOTE="Techster, post: 113235, member: 360"] Sorry, if the NCAA is out there espousing the sanctity of "amateurism" and the best interest of the SAs...then there's a difference. The difference between PROFESSIONAL sports and the business world (where employees are PROFESSIONALS) is the exact difference the NCAA is trying to make regarding trying to keep the SAs from getting paid or commercializing their likeness. Professional athletes sign a contract, and you as an employee signed a contract to work...so there's the difference. As long as the NCAA is doing that, I see no reason why SAs who only get 1 year renewable scholarship should be tied down multiple years because the school or coach has the ability to. The school invests money and time into an athlete on an annual basis, and the athlete returns that time and money by performing on the field. The school receives their return every year. Quid-pro-quo. Now if a school guarantees an SA a full 4 year scholarship, then I can see the argument...but it's not the case right now. If you don't see the inequality in that I don't know what to tell you. [/QUOTE]
