While I understand the argument that these college athletes deserve some share of the money they generate for their schools, this article just highlights how bad this will be for college basketball. Bottom line is...the bigger the name (University) the more money you can/will make as a student athlete playing at that school.
The smaller programs stand no chance to land a recruit who now sees the opportunity to make six figures while they p,anyone year of college hoops before heading pro.

I think "nonperson" might be the apt technical term for the Duke recruit, unless you were referring to Coach Ratzyzewksi.Quote:

It's tough, to be honest. Most people don't understand the pressure.Quote:
