[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 800155, member: 198"] Well, how much exposure and revenue did Calvin Johnson bring to Tech while he was here? Certainly, he did bring exposure locally. Not so sure he brought any revenue. We definitely gained recognition as he became an All-American. Definitely gained exposure when he was drafted #2 in the 2007 NFL draft. But, what revenue did he drive towards GT? It's not the individuals that drive revenue, it's the entire system as a collective through the TV contracts. So, looking at this in toto, do all the student-athletes deserve more than the $200,000 to $500,000 in education and benefits over 4 years they already "earn" by being scholar-athletes? Remember, football (and men's basketball) pays for everything in the AA, all the student-athletes. I think that is debatable. [/QUOTE]
