Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3647999, member: 1414"] I am ok with them profiting on their likeness. But your argument is silly. I watch UConn. It doesn’t matter who the players are. The top 100 HS kids could go G league every year and nobody would watch it. They would still watch college teams. People root for the laundry. Football even more so. Minor league football couldn’t put 5000 people in the stands, let alone sell out 100k stadiums. So no, these players don’t create millions of dollars of revenue. The schools do. The brand is 99% of the attraction. Do you plan on watching lots of southern Illinois edwardsville to catch Sid Wilson? And most of those schools lose money doing this. It’s not material to the bottom line. It’s a marketing expense that they hope breaks even or even generates a small profit. [/QUOTE]
