[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 579545, member: 572"] Ah yes. The old "they can go play professionally instead" cop out. Nobody's saying to not abide by rules. What's being said is that the underlying rules are antiquated and unfair when there's a clear market value for many types of student-athletes, not just football & men's basketball, and they are prohibited from tapping in to that market value. And let me make this overall statement of belief that I'm not aiming at you [USER=77]@dressedcheeseside[/USER]... I'm of a firm belief that Georgia Tech fans, as well as the fans of many other schools, lean on the rules of amateurism because they know the day that an olympic model or free market model reigns over college athletics, they'll be unwilling to properly support the needs of their school's athletic endeavors, probably because they're too cheap to do so.
