because 'free tutoring' is there regardless it's called student facilities and the school pays for them whether or not you're an athlete and also 'because reasons' = because the NCAA makes millions and millions of dollars while the athletes who make all the money struggle to get by

people are so loving retarded. like ooooh FREE SCHOOL but what is the actual value of the schooling? What does it actually cost the school in terms of marginal costs to add 1 more student? loving nothing at all. Do you even get a decent degree? Nope, it's always some bullshit libarts degree that you'll never get a job with.

Goons in one thread go 'non-STEM degrees are worse than useless now' and in another go 'at least you get a free lib arts degree' like what fools?

you admit in your own post that the schooling is worthless (if you are guaranteed to pass no matter how poo poo you are in your bullshit classes...) but that the schooling is the compensation. idiot.

There are far more student athletes that take their education seriously than there are ones with a full course load of basket weaving and _______ studies. They just play sports that aren't on ESPN.

Great they don't need a huge salary. Kick em like $100 a week.

The players on national TV with millions watching during March Madness though maybe deserve a bit of cash.

They get paid tens of thousands of dollars in free education, just like the guy on a full ride swimming scholarship. It's their own fault if they take a load of bullshit courses and graduate with a worthless degree.
