Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2529101, member: 56"] I'm not in disagreement with the 'go where they are happiest' point. I also think college athletes in a couple sports should probably get some compensation for the money they generate, if it's done in the right way (ie tied to graduation). That said, I don't think they are as exploited as much as everyone says. Let's say a D1 soccer player goes and gets a free education somewhere. Is he being exploited? How so? The basketball player is in the exact same situation as the soccer player. Why is it that he is then considered to be exploited? RE what it will do to the sport. Ultimately none of us really know. But I do think that the potential lack of loyalty will make me enjoy the sport less. It's hard to root for anybody when you can't get attached to players. I would hate to be a fan of one and done teams. Who gives a crap if Marvin Bagley plays one year and leaves? He's just a hired gun. [/QUOTE]
