RE: How college sports cheat student athletes
How about the extra 25-30 hours a week put in to maintain a 40 hour a week job? Even at $10/hour straight time thats over $500,000 over a worker's lifetime that some companies get away without paying for work done off the clock. Now that's victimization!

I disagree with forming unions -- no. I mean, some pseudo-union in terms of brokering for fair practice-time, class-situation, student-stipens, etc -- OK. But it's not a Job.
Just nix the faux-classes. You're not going to stop corrupt stuff by throwing a union in there.
Otherwise, why not have high-school kids who play football or basketball -- get paid?

RE: How college sports cheat student athletes
sounds like the point of that is to either pay athletes, and excuse them from classes permanently
or don't pay them, but create a legitimate opportunity for education and release every student athlete who can't hack it, including the entire Oklahoma athletic program who reportedly can't read above a 4th grade level

RE: How college sports cheat student athletes
I'm too old fashioned. In a perfect world, I'd like to see all student athletes have to pass an aptitude test in order to play in college or to maintain a scholarship. College isn't for everyone and if someone does not care about getting a good education - then they should not be college. College should not be a developmental league for the NFL and NBA. Give those athletes other means to get to pro sports.
The NCAA is a joke - and university presidents want the money donated as a result of good sport programs. It has to be killing them to see college football coaches raking in the kind of money they do.
