Nonsense calling this a racial issue. It affects each individual student athlete the same way.
Other than that, good talk

@galion1991 the racial groups affected are irrelevant to the issue. It is a structural issue that the NCAA is predatory to student athletes. Race has ZERO to do with this

@NekomataJinchuuriki it’s rather offensive to ask about my race as if that has some sort of factor on one’s ability to think.
An intelligent person doesn’t need to know the race of the person speaking an idea since that has no impact on the words being spoken or the ideas in question

The sports generally, are designed, for young generations, to be able to control their energies, and then one of the goals for their future life’s and business, if this ways of young activities, challenge, not only the professional sports individual’s, but millions of the fans, loosing their hopes.

@Cameron Stark Sure, but what if you’re not an athlete? Should colleges still do social work for your benefit?

Or instead of maintaining and perpetuating this inherently corrupt system, force the NFL and NBA to develop a farm league system like the MLB has done to give players a paid pathway to the professional leagues outside of our institutions of higher learning.

Let’s get one thing straight. These guys, by and large, had NOTHING going for them before getting a chance to play ball for a college. Those profits are *supposed* to be funneled back into the schools for research. Many people if they had the talent would risk it for a chance to make millions in the pros.

Let’s be real the value of the degree especially from a prestigious institution has exceeded the value of the actual education.

Sadly these institutions no longer care about educating our youth. It’s not just athletes suffering. Young kids put themselves into $80k worth of debt just to find out that hard-earned piece of paper is borderline worthless.
Colleges are money printing machines for those who run them…I would argue that in the long run the cost will be much more than money.

We need higher education, but not like this, or like anything these colleges have done. And as usual when somethings not going right we should look at whatever Norway is doing.

Its not right. College athletes that are on TV should get paid and don’t say “they get free education” another kid in the classroom or a free 250k education does not equal what they could be making if they could sell shirts etc. and wrestlers for example are done after college but they are televised on ESPN etc. flowwrestling for example. Millions off the backs of the kids.

Imagine if a huge number of black college athletes dropped out and started organizing and coaching THEMSELVES and started collecting the billions. That would be true justice. Enough with white people profiting off of black and brown labor. Enough with the upper classes profiting off of working class labor.
