Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2701721, member: 7492"] Huh? That is a completely BS response "but they currently do not operate in the best interests of the student athletes". Yes, there are serious flaw in how the NCAA handles their CFB and MCBB programs due to the very heavy outside interested parties-notably the NBA, NFL, shoe companies, agents, boosters, AAU coaches and such. However for the vast majority of sponsored sports-soccer, baseball, softball, swimming, track, volleyball, golf, tennis, etc, the student athletes are done right by the NCAA. Having been a D1 athlete, having 2 sons as D1 athletes currently and having 7 close friends who are head coaches in colleges, I am pretty confident in my assessment. You are making a blanket statement like these athletes are disregarded and that is simply NOT TRUE. [/QUOTE]
