I was talking to someone and he seemed to think that college athletics in the revenue producing sports should be separated from academics. That way players would have a choice to be paid or to have a scholarship that they could use later when they are not running around the country for their team. I think the NCAA is corrupt. They are making a lot of money on college basketball and football and the players do not share any of that money. What is the value of a scholarship if they cannot be paid? Maybe in the long run a union is not the way to go, but the players do need to have some form of representation. I think the hypocrisy of college athletics is ridiculous. The players should be allowed to sell their autographs and get endorsements. Does anyone remember a short time ago when Olympic athletes were not allowed to be paid? Meaning an athlete had a choice to compete in the Olympics or get paid and end their Olympic career?
