Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3147379, member: 2844"] Since when are athletes employees? These athletes get scholarships worth tens of thousands of dollars and in the major schools they are given housing that the normal student would only dream about. Their food, on the road is better than any other student plus they all get free tutoring. NOBODY is twisting their arms to go to school - they can got to Europe or Asia and play. I think all universities pay their [I]employees[/I] what they think they are worth and like in any other case if the [I]employees[/I] don't agree - find another job. College athletes are not employees. If they want to be an employee, they can go to any of the outlets available to them, get paid and as in most jobs - produce or you are out - quite a bit different from college. [/QUOTE]
