    That might've been a bit of a stretch, true.

    I just don't want them to make a profit and at least a modest compensation other than the hope for being drafted.
    But you make a good point about smaller sports being supported by this system, although I don't think they'd have a problem funding them, next to paying FB/BB some form of fair compensation, if they wanted to.

      Absolutely -- there's plenty of money, it's all how we allocate it. To add more complexity, not all schools have the same revenue-generating sports, which makes any sort of blanket policy more difficult.
