Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3270263, member: 44"] Yeah I see you couldn't figure out why it was crazy. Okay, I can help. Do you seriously think that offering a student a 4 year scholarship, which he or she is free to accept or not, is the equivalent to being abducted from their homes, shackled in in a near lightless hold for months and then condemning them and their progeny into forced bondage? Does that strike you as a rational comparison? It doesn't to me in the least. Kids have a choice to go pro or not. If they choose not to, then they agree not make money from athletics until after they leave the university. That's the system we have now. There's no doubt it is imperfect but once you eliminate the nominal amateurism it falls apart. [/QUOTE]
