No scholarship for you.

And home he came. Full ride, heavily recruited blue chips? Maybe. So few marketable for two or three year college basketball and football players stay around through graduation.

They are employees of the university. They work at their sports. Pay them a stipend, since they can't work. We don't tune in to watch administrators or coaches, but players wearing uniforms we like to win the game. No athletes, no tv contracts.

Exploitation and entertainment based on...physical characteristics. For no pay, or deferred pay. Hmmm.
