[QUOTE="Bucktown, post: 1957785, member: 30038"] Every market has its rules and few are entirely free. A player has the choice of which school to play for and a degree at each school is worth a different amount. And, that degree is different depending on the interest level of each student athlete. There is a lot of competition. I know this is a fan forum and there is a huge amount of cynicism regarding the NCAA and athletes, but most athletes love playing their sport and don't feel exploited. Except for the +/- 1% they are done when they graduate college. Further, just about any varsity athlete and any level of NCAA athletics (I, II or III) that gets a degree will be looked upon very favorably when looking for a job in the world beyond sports. It isn't a one way street where the schools get all of the benefits. [/QUOTE]
