If you can break that down into legible English, I'll respond. Other than that, all I'm seeing at my end - looking at you - is an uneducated idiot jealous of those of us who went to college and received exactly what we went for - an education.

Nice op-ed piece. And that’s all it is - your opinion.

You've got to get past this idiotic notion you have that the NCAA created this system. The NCAA offers scholarships to "student-athletes" to attend school while playing sports. If the athlete feels the scholarship is not adequate reimbursement, he/she doesn't have to attend school. The NBA and NFL created the system…

Agreed - “that’s not how it works” ... running a de facto farm system for the NBA and NFL by paying players?

Wrong.

Sure, he is ...

Excellent - unbiased reports from “bloggers”, the same bunch who brought us such investigative reporting as '500 Days of Somesuch ...' ...

Yeah - your assumptions about AD accounting are probably more accurate than those made by professionals examining the reports, audits, etc. these schools receiving public funding must file ...

Look at that little guy go! He is incorgiable!

Speaking of being “not really that smart” ... you’ve just pounded out a twenty-page piece of shit, with no documentation. Forbes and every other entity who has reported on this issue to any extent has been duped by “the Cartel” and their dirty accounting practices, but not LooseSasquatch ... HE knows the real deal.

Sounds like your beef is with the NFL and NBA, who impose the restrictions. Why should the NCAA have to provide a remedy?

I see ... so now you’re saying that the NCAA created the system (“cartel”) and the NBA and NFL are forced to impose these age restrictions on players, presumably at the NCAA's direction?

No, they DON’T have to attend college.

You're right. I've made the point three times, now.

I think I've nailed the point. Twice.

“Wow. Just wow”?!? Excitable, much?

Nope.

Again - no one is forcing these kids to attend college.

No, you don't.

Fuck the NCAA, and fuck anyone else who insists on forcing college upon kids who don’t want it just so their own paychecks can be bigger by dint of not paying the people who actually bring in the money.
