These billion-dollar leagues couldn't care less about the inputs, i.e., the young people themselves. Let's not forget that the NCAA still pretends they're "student-athletes," though making it nigh on impossible for them to actually attend class and have the time to study for their education. How many blearly-eyed kids will the Big 10 have every single week for how many teams? Recently, an oped in The Guardian pointed out how America's women's soccer teams were falling behind the rest of the world in no small part because of the antiquated university system. In Europe, women's soccer has followed men's soccer and basketball in developing talent through pro youth teams and leagues. I think the university sports system, the NCAA has gone too far. They are just abusing these kids for the money, while young people suffer. This is all going to come crashing down. [/QUOTE]
