slavery are you sh!tting me. Yes a ton of money is made on these young men however alot is being spent as well at OU for instance you roughly pay 25k a year to go to school football is full ride with all the free Nike stuff you can hoard. Along with the fame of playing at this school and possibly a chance at the NFL if you are good enough. Bottom line is if they don't like it don't play that simple. Maybe if they go through college and don't act like idiots or get arrested and graduate maybe they should add a clause for a bonus of a masters degree for the young men that choose. But college athletes should not get paid period. Just one question. If a kid blows out his knee and can't play anymore...does he get to keep his scholarship?

It was true at ECU when I blew my knee out and graduated and was on scholarship the whole time while rehabbing.

Now Johnny, I do believe that the major Universities honor the scholie even if said athlete has a major injury. C'mon now, use a different bait.

You may have meant blue chip as in the 5* rating system for athletes. 2) I said ECU as in East Central University. No blue (chips) Chops at that particular university. 3) I left ECU in 2007, so it was much later than 1972. 4) As previously stated which seems too hard for a simple mind such as yourself "I blew my knee out (acl,mcl, and meniscus) and continued on my scholarship.

While you anecdotes may be true they are not empirical evidence and nothing more than your particular story. The point you are missing is they can do that not that it didn't happen to you.

From your previous posts stating that "they" implying all would be wrong. Trying to troll with your limited knowledge on the subject isn't working very well.

You are still missing the point. Div. 2 schools are less likely to employ this tactic than are big money making schools.

Why would they be less likely? Div. 2 schools have less scholarships to offer so wouldn't they be more likely to pull all or part of the scholarship than a big school.

There is less money at stake and less competition for spots. It's better for them to keep a player they have invested in bringing into their system

Also we are getting off topic. These kids vroght millions into a system that they by and large get no monetary value from. Only a small percent make it to the nfl or other leagues. Many do not graduate or graduate with degrees in meaningless majors leaving them without skills to support them through life.

It's their own fault if they "choose" to take meaningless majors or do not graduate. They are on full ride scholarships at the d1 level. This includes room/board/books/tuition. That is compensation for performance. Technically they would need no more out of life. The athletic dorms at the SEC schools are nicer than the house I live in right now. Three meals a day and a top notch education.

Everyone on this site is blaming kids. Typical. You want to act like you are on their side and making men out of them but if you have an opportunity to really help them. All the sudden you are on the side of other old white men getting insanely rich off the product of young poor black kids. Everyone here is probably a trump supporters who satisfy themselves to animae.
