Re: UAA and Cost of Attendance
Slave labor. That's funny stuff.
The "woe is the student athlete" nonsense cracks me up. Kids, and their parents, dream of the idea the kid might get to participate in this "slave labor." They spend thousands out of their own pocket just to send the kids to camps with the hope of attracting a "slave master" to choose them. They call a press conference to announce their entry into this athletics Auschwitz.
When they get chosen, they are handed free room and board and an education, along with a lottery ticket for a pro athletic career. Very few lottery tickets pay off, but they get one nonetheless.
The deal with the devil made by professional sports leagues, colleges and college athletes is one they've all entered into willingly, and there isn't a one of them that would give up what they have right now. This is just gluttons fighting over pie.
