No one said they're "oppressed." But these schools don't get take in tens of millions of dollars a year in TV money and "pay" their athletes in largely cost-free vouchers.canoso said:
Sorry, but with a free ride at a school with our cost, student athletes are far from "oppressed."
The schools made the choice to turn college athletics into a money-making venture. The players are merely -- and quite rightly -- demanding their cut.
The NCAA's farcical amateurism model is collapsing on itself. It's only a matter of time before the schools are sharing their revenues with the athletes. The courts will eventually demand it.
