[QUOTE="Double V, post: 2523637, member: 70819"] Great, then let them go earn that "fair market value" somewhere else in the market if they don't like the current model. This is such a dumb, tired argument. If the system is really as one-sided as these people try to make it seem, then why do the players willfully participate? A true "fair market value" is whatever terms both sides agree upon. In this case, an offer is made in the form of a scholarship, and the student agrees to accept it. There is no coercion, and the students are free to turn down the offer if they so choose. Yet they don't. In fact, many hold celebrations with friends and family and proclaim the day they accept the offer as the best day of their life. Also, notice the part about football making up for the financial losses in other sports? Give up 47% of the football revenues in the name of "fairness" and you'll lose those other sports (namely, women's sports) we all hold so dearly. [/QUOTE]
