Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2529049, member: 56"] This doesn't make sense. Yes, they are students. Yes, they can transfer any time they want...and still attend class like every other student. There's no repercussions scholastically. Zero difference between them and regular students. The difference is they get a $200k education for free. In fact, they get an extra year ON TOP of what they already had, for free. So in essence, they get a further advantage from regular students. Heck, They can take this extra time to earn a Masters if they so choose. Playing D1 sports is a [I]privilege, [/I]not servitude. They save an ungodly amount of debt. Now I do believe players should get some money. But it is important to realize that they are getting effectively $5ok a year right now. If you want to pay them fine, I've no problem with that. They should apply to schools like regular kids and pay their own way. I still think getting a lump some from merchandising sales which is contingent on them [I]graduating [/I]from a legitimate scholastic program (hi UNC) is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
