[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 579713, member: 2299"] Taking a scholarship is basically akin to sign an exclusivity agreement. You get tuition, room and board, and the benefits, and you agree not to seek other avenues for making money. You are suggesting that they just drop the exclusivity part. The problem is that the purpose of the exclusivity part is to try and ensure a somewhat level playing field for all. Get rid of that and all you have is a less interesting NBA with even bigger imbalance. On top of that most of the "free market" compensation will still be intrinsically tied to the university. Those "external sources" are still entirely dependent on a connection with the school. SAs wouldn't get free pizza just for being themselves. They'd get it for being a player for the local college. The external revenue would be revenue based on the relationship between the athlete and the school. Not just the athlete. The fact is, for basketball and football, the limits imposed by the pro sports greatly diminishes the actual free market value of SAs during the years they aren't eligible to the point where a college scholarship is fair compensation. Could SAs make more? Probably. Can they make more without the association with a college? For most the answer is probably not. [/QUOTE]
