[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132076047, member: 1428007"] Every other student that isn't an athlete, every coach and administrator is free to pursue other opportunities whenever and wherever they choose. Why then would it be a problem if the athletes do the same (to be honest some athletes--the ones NOT bringing in revenues to the school already could do these things). None of this changes your happiness or sadness if your team wins or loses. Or the enjoyment of watching your team play if thats what you enjoy, or a gameday experience. If you are worried you can't acquire and keep the athletes then you'll have to make it worth their while. Everyone isn't going to just attend schools in two conferences and ride the pine for four years and schools that get good athletes will still. Just a part of the game that hasn't really changed much. No one can restrict these athletes to make money on their own as in the past--that is the difference. Really has nothing to do with the NCAA since courts and conferences and schools have bypassed them. They were simply a restrictive tool that by law can't be used anymore to hamper an individuals ability to earn money. [/QUOTE]
