How many kids get a chance for a free education at a top university? I understand using a player in a commercial for the NCAA or university saying that player should be compensated.
What about the coal miner or assembly line worker who shows up everyday to do their small part in a long line of parts to make billions for their company? Some, if lucky get a profit sharing clause but it usually is not nothing compared to what the bottom line of profits that company makes.
Even the NBA has rules to their madness. Players get the best contracts they can get but must stay through their contract unlike what we see in college ball right now.
Kids in high school who have not played one minute of college ball are getting millions.
I hd a 19 year old kid with zero experience ( no experience in anything, his first job as a favor to a friend) that was hired to be a maintenance apprentice who one day came in mad as hell; said to me he was being disrespected. When I asked him how was this, he said I hired a man who was getting more than he was.
I asked WTH are you talking about and he said I am paying this new guy more money and he already had a computer and all and was driving a one of my trucks.
The guy I hired had 25 years experience, knew how to work on his own without any supervision, and this 19 year old didn't even have his drivers license!
My point is this; kids today want and expect what others have worked hard to get on day one. Not all kids, but this new generation of athletes feel they are owed something before they even earn anything.
People complain about players not getting paid while colleges make money but sit back and say nothing about these same universities taking federal taxpayer money meant for research. Professors doing research ask for grants and get them; they get 65% and the college takes the rest. How is that fair to the professor or the taxpayer. Same college has millions and millions in the bank but they just keep taking more.
The whole damn system is out of whack do to money.
