3hourtour, if the owners of those minor league teams were making billions annually, I’ll bet my butt the players wouldn’t be riding buses, eating fast food, and staying at roach motels. The problem with the college game is the money being made off these employees (i.e. students) who can’t negotiate to get even a tiny piece of the pie. How much did Ohio State make just from selling Pryor’s jerseys alone?
…the troubled with college ball is pro ball….if kids were actually going to college for an education free room and board would be all they would need.But for most major college athletes college is just a necessary stepping stone. They are not there for the education.

Drug ‘enhancers’ have killed sports. How can you get excited about someone’s accomplishment when you have to assume it was fueled by modern chemistry?
