12885792, they get a poor education
Posted by akon, Sun Aug-23-15 01:29 PM
if you have been reading up on whats been happening at unc,
you'd know that that is not a free education
they spend the majority of their time in practice, with very little time to focus on education
so they were being shoveled in AA classes with a guaranteed A, and swahili classes as well
thats wrong, completely
and it happens because the ncaa has become a cash cow for these schools
so kids who dont go pro (majority of them) end up with... what exactly?

>They are using each other. These kids are getting a chance to
>play at a top university who gets a ton of TV time for them to
>showcase their skills for the pros.

uhm, no. the schools are using these kids
if we are touse the same logic, why pay the coaches millions? in addition to all the endorsements?
arent they also showcasing their skills? perhaps it should be a launching pad for them to coach overseas?

>If you pay football and basketball players, you end up having
>to take away womens sports who dont generate money.

and yet every other student who works on campus gets paid
how do we justify this?
the athletes dont put in work? how many hours a week are they in practice, training etc? when NOT in classes?
