The whole point is that is a privilege not something that is owed to them. They can get paid at the next level
if they can make it to the next level. The fact is they are making millions on them NOW. I and most others pay a ARM and LEG to go to some of these games. And that is OK? I thought it was just AMEATUR athletics? Bigger stadium expansions, and higher tickit prices to MAXIMIZE thier proffit. If everything you guys are preaching is true, tickets should be 10 bucks and no more. Can't have it both ways.

It's kinda like being the star employee for Microsoft, helping them make billions, and then getting paid 4,000 dollars a year. Yeah, I'm sure we are all lining up for that.

In the real world, these athletes see that people are willing to pay them for their services and they take the opportunity. If they know that one school won't pay and another will, that's where they will go. That's economics 101.

Again, anyone who thinks this isn't happening at LSU is fooling themselves.
