Message: [QUOTE="MooseJaw, post: 5277892, member: 10835"] Seriously, that's what you have. That what was, is immoral, exploitive and illegal. Talk to the many thousands of female student athletes who have their entire college education, lodging, food, travel and tutors paid for. The vast majority who will never ever play beyond college. Ask them if they were exploited. I would bet the answer would floor you. Please tell us how these young athletes were exploited. We now have what you seem to think is nirvana in college sports. Did the old system need to be changed and updated? No doubt it did, like a lot of changes' things have gone from bad to worse. At UConn it will take longer for unlimited money and a free for all transfer portal to rear its ugly head. About as long as Genos last day on the job. Then we become another LSU or any of the other schools who we speculate about. How many $ we dangle to entice HS players or transfers to play pro ball at UConn. If the players want and have unlimited freedom of movement and money just maybe the players should be charged for their apartments, travel, food coaching and gym time. Only seems fair to me, unless you want the schools to be exploited while being used, lied to and pooped on like you feel the players have been. After all, when all is said and done, I guess that almost half a mil invested in a student is nothing. Yes the system needed changes and will change again very soon, cause what you seem to think is right means that any contract the athlete signs with any school is just dust in the wind. [/QUOTE]
