Message: [QUOTE="Charliebball, post: 2370881, member: 6831"] I believe that athletes are being taken advantage of by athletic departments and school administrators who are willing to do practically anything to field a winning team..........almost every college including Ivy League schools force admissions departments to admit clearly inferior students just because they can run faster or jump higher............how can these student athletes be expected to get a decent education and spend hours daily practicing their sport when they are offered mostly easy classes in subjects that won't help them in the real world and with extensive assistance from tutors just to get a passing grade..............the NCAA's job has been designed by the schools to look the other way when it comes to the education of the athletes...........it's job is to try to keep all of the cheating, bribing etc that goes on in recruiting as quiet as possible and to spank any school that steps over the line............we need a whole new system where athletes get a cut of the corporate profits, just like the school and the overpaid coaches..............schools should guarantee that student athletes can return to the classroom at any time to earn a proper degree once the shine of the spotlight is on the next big star...........
