[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2768859, member: 73370"] i don't know what fairy tale world you have been watching, but as many have pointed out the concept of competitive balance is and has been a myth for quite some time. second, you talk about the cost of college going up for everyone, but the athlete i think you are viewing this in far to narrow a scope when does a college football player have an off season? two kids i know this year who are freshmen in college left to go to school two days after their high school graduation to move in and start summer classes and conditioning. this wasn't a choice, this was a requirement. when does a college kid work to have money in their pocket to pay for anything, the spring? hah, the college programs are year round now and why? a college football player puts in more time than any other time in the history of college football, there is more money flowing into the ncaa, the networks, the schools, and the coaches and you are worried about the myth of competitive balance and. i am done on this because you live in this world that there needs to be answers before action is taken, but that time is passed. this issue started long before the obannon case, it started back when the ncaa lost control of the tv contracts and their influence has been eroded by they and the college presidents arrogance and inertia.
