[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 949874, member: 959"] I don’t feel sorry for the fruits of their labor, instead I feel sorry for the reality of their circumstances. I suspect what [USER=1640]@Northeast Stinger[/USER] was saying was that in many ways the student athlete of today has become a piece of “content” to be produced, maintained and enhanced for the sake of entertainment and financial gain, as opposed to a young person becoming an adult (and importantly maybe for the first time, doing so in an environment where the school and adults they’re surrounded by are capable of being held accountable for that development). End interpretation: back to my own view; it’s a failure of the academic institutions which back these athletes in my opinion. It’s also the absolute worst part of college sports for me. I don’t buy the “everyone is a victim” bit for a moment and I also find the whole system of athletics over school reprehensible. Choose which is the mission, then execute against the mission. If they’re ultimately just masquerading about education call it what it is and make it divorced from the schools. [/QUOTE]
