yes or no? i wonder why grantland is relatively silent on this (compared to the NFL domestic violence abuse case). isnt the obannon decision by the liberal judge more consequential?
the next logical step

Why are you comparing this to people who beat their wives?

The NCAA beats student athletes?
I personally think it's ridiculous that a university can sell a jersey with a kid's name on it and the kid sees no benefit from it. He's getting a scholarship for playing, any merchandising should also go to benefit the kid being merchandised. I think if you opened this up and maybe paid student athletes a small stipend you'd see less problems with boosters and fake 'summer jobs', etc.

the university can sell jerseys without the players name on it. it's not that difficult to fix.
as for stipends, arent they already doing it with free college education, meals, boarding rooms etc?
re the "summer jobs", these players should be allowed to play in the d-league.
nobody's forcing these players to go to college. if they want to get paid, go to the d-league or go to china's pro league.

You clearly are not paying attention. And you continue to conflate unrelated issues.

either you have poor comprehension skills, or you are trolling. (or you might be dense, also a possibility).
