Slave labor I tell you!!! You know, besides the whole free education that many of which aren't even deserving of. And all the under the table benefits. etc. Absolutely disgusting!!!
If you want to talk about disgusting, how about the cost of college in general and the debt that many hard working young people are accumulating because they actually want an education. And the piss poor treatment their money then earns them from professors who are too busy to you know, actually teach their own classes.
The treatment of college athletes is FAR down the list of things wrong with higher education in this country. I'd say in general, the college athletes that do bring in the big bucks, have it damn well off.
