[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 949924, member: 3849"] All young adults need guidance. Navigating the complex world is tough for everyone. These student athletes get more guidance than everyone else in school. They are also recieve a ton of perks (preferences in dorms, early class enrollment, free tutoring, etc.) from the school in a way the other students are not close to being treated. I am not sure what you think the obligation needs to be for the school, but my guess is probably more than they are equipped to handle. I know for a fact that Tech provides guidance to student-athletes on how to work the various NIL paths, how to deal with the tax implications of their NIL payments, and how to create and manage their own brand. I am positive other schools do the same. The schools need to draw the line somewhere. At some point when does it start becoming the individual's responsibility? Let me add, 90% of student-athletes will not play professional sports. The best support and guidance they can get should come from their family telling them to get a good degree and take their academics seriously, but not focus on maximizing their college income in a profession where their career earnings outside of college will be virtually nonexistent.
