Billion dollar industry. Hundreds of millions of dollars per team for the major programs. Sure give the product/employees a few thousand in scholarships = Total sham.
If any of us did that in our business they would put us in jail fro fraud. How is it not akin to a scam?
ALso, they're using the college to showcase their talent, as much as the college is using them for revenue. There's a reason guys go to the big name schools, it's because being there increases their chances of getting a high NFL draft spot, or even getting in the NFL at all for a lot of them. It's a two way street.
IF your child were an NFL hopeful and went to college and broke his back playing on a scholarship, how would you feel? Multi million dollar NFL career down the drain. Injured kid for the rest of his life.
I don't believe you really believe what you are saying. When it's YOUR kid, it's different. I don't think you would seriously argue that the few thousand in scholarship your child got for a year in school was worth it or fair compensation when their is 100s of millions being divied up.
All you need do to see it for what it is really is is to look how much the coaches make.
