On the whole, football and men's basketball players bring in more money than they cost and thus they're valuable and have leverage. But for the college athletes that bring in less money than they cost, which is most of the rest of them, it's the schools that have the leverage.

Although women's volleyball players at Grambling are probably more into volleyball than they ought to be, since there's no chance it will get them anything after their eligibility is up, what it is getting them while they're playing is a free college education even though they're not bringing in any money. And now that's gone for them.

This may backfire on Grambling in the sense that their team could be worse next year than it would have been otherwise, but even if so, so what? It's just women's volleyball. It's worth a taking a chance. The stakes are much lower than it is with revenue producing sports.

Whi gives a shttt if there are pro ops in a sport? Sports need to be relegated to activity level. Who cares anymore?
