Message: [QUOTE="freshler40, post: 3839884, member: 11053"] If we believe in free markets and currently do allow anybody with a lemonade stand to make money, this change is in our future. Yes, a scholarship counts and should but beyond that for the top athletes, who in major sports only play a year or two, such rewards to other student won't account for much. Coaches make tons of money now in Div 1 top sports. How to allocate the enormous TV pool fairly will be a challenge. Most schools lose money on paper due to the funny allocation of scholarship moneys and other operating costs. The fans/taxpayers are duped into viewing such losses as real. A normal business could have closed years ago. Consolidation of top players in top colligate sports has been going on for a long time and just continues. The rich get richer. [/QUOTE]
