It's a two way street - you play for us & we'll set you up for success, BUT we own your "image". I think it's a fair trade off all things considered. That's about as simple as I can summarize my stance on it.

Im sorry but this doesn't cut it. The institutions themselves value the higher earners (which is what they really are) more. Hence the vip treatment, bogus scholarships ect.

Anyway, its not nowhere a fair trade off. U get millions while I get "exposure" and "set up for success"? LOL, no. (Btw Im referencing things at the highest level. The top schools, top conferences, top players. That's where all the money is generated)
