It's easy, and only takes a few moments.We agree.I'm surprised that anyone on this board believes in the purity of Division 1 NCAA sports. It's a corrupt scam that exploits players and I don't blame any player for gaining material advantage.
They get a free education. That they don't use it is nobody's fault but their own.I really liked the Brown pick but my biggest fear was that Texas left a lasting mark on him when that program was a complete mess during his time there. Inmates running the asylum type thing. Just not a good culture.
I find it absolutely amazing college athletes aren't paid. Colleges are empires built off these athletes.
Simms is such a piece of ****.

Good news! They are paid. They get tuition, room and board, supplies, etc... At a school like Alabama, that's better than $40k a year, right there.
t.u. should get the death penalty.
Yep. And those kids get a full ride scholarship. They even have meal plans for free. The have the opportunity to get a degree in a lucrative field absolutely free of charge to provide their long-term security and that of their families. Others have to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for that and many go into debt taking out student loans to do so. I had to work full time for mine in a call center for four years getting **** on day in and day out and hope that my company didn't shut their tuition reimbursement program down in the process. I would have killed for the opportunity to play a sport I absolutely loved while getting a free education. And, finally, nobody is forcing these kids to play football if they don't like the deal. They're very free to do something else if their family needs the support that badly in the meantime.Think about all the other people that benefit from their play. The campus, the labs, notoriety etc
These schools wouldn't be the powerhouses they are without these kids. Period.
People wouldn't be traveling around the world to go there without everything the athlete brought to that school.
March Madness is a billion dollar month in itself. Just basketball.
