[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 232144, member: 2426"] You listed a couple of the reasons that the athletes who are pushing for reform are going to end up winning. The NCAA cannot make an argument with a straight face that a UNC sham degree is anything but absolutely worthless. The quasi-student-athletes who received those degrees got no benefit from the scholarship money. If the NCAA continues to allow the farm league mentality, then Div 1 football should drop the academic and amateur requirements totally. Why should a player only have 4 years of eligibility if college doesn't matter. Why should players not be paid if they don't want to and are not required to go to classes and operate as amatuers? The NCAA and many schools attempt to gain all of the advantages of being a business, and all of the advantages of being amateur educational entities while attempting to avoid all of the responsibilities of both. The fan bases and blogs get even worse. I saw a post recently that called for changes to NCAA football to make it suit the guys in their 40s and 50s who watch. The post pushed for eliminating band performances and reducing the length of halftime. That might make the middle aged guys happier, but it would take away a big college experience from hundreds of kids every game. [/QUOTE]
