You're still asking a lot of players who are student athletes and not professional athletes, and you're allowing the NCAA to rake in even more cash on the backs of kids who aren't (supposed to be) getting paid. I don't understand why the moneygrubbing basterds at the NCAA can't see that it is in their best financial interest to do it. Don't tell me they're thinking of the toll it takes on the student athletes. The athletes are unpaid cattle to them and all they can see when they look at them are the dollar signs. Cha-ching!!!

Don't student athletes get their schooling entirely paid for? (serisouyl I don't know, hence asking).
