NCAA States They Are Not Responsible for Educating Athletes!

This is 180 degree turnaround from their previous stance. This is why I have always supported paying college athletes while offering them the chance to get an education. These athletes bring in millions for the schools.

I think those that go pro before graduation should have to pay back all scholarship money.

They do when the school makes millions from TV contracts, shoe deals, and spectators.

Its not the NCAAs. They regulate sports...not educational content.

Players should get a living expenses stipend. 2K a year.

Their 40k per year education with free room and meals is a pretty good payment.

No one asked you to feel sorry for them. You should save that for yourself.

Add in a 10% cut of the profits generated off their backs.

Care About and Responsible For are two entirely different things.

Not in this context.

"We care about the athlete, as long as we can exploit him or her for money and tv ratings."
