I agree that college is for education but some degree of fairness would be nice...how can you justify colleges getting rich off the exploits of athletes while denying them basic freedoms?

It is the price the athletes pay for a free education. I got paid some for college bball and was very grateful. If they are good enough they make there money in the pros. If not they got a degree and have no loans to pay back. With the price of college today I think that is a great reward.
