[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 68019, member: 322"] The problem is that the NCAA D1 football "sport" has become an "entertainment business". So the student athlete is an anachronism. For minor sports like lacrosse or cycling, the student athlete concept is alive and well ..... just not where there is a lot of money being made on the "sport". I watched a great movie last night "The Battering Bastards of Baseball" which was the story of the 73-77 independent Portland Mavericks baseball team. Basically, they were a better entertainment value to MLB, but they got closed down by MLB due to the monopoly which has been given to MLB. Now, MLB and NFL is more money ball where the "entertainment business" aspect eclipses that of sport. So I think this ruling is one of many which will change the business aspect of the game, and along with it the relative advantages different schools have. Fletch, is that a light bulb in your avatar?
