First, higher education is subsudized by the government to/for the poor in the form of pell grants. Second, it shouldn't be. Kids in middle class families who "make too much", but can't afford to send their kids to college have the only avenue of high interest loans. Yet, poor families can get those subsidies and attend virtually for free. For all, or for none. Since, I believe my tax dollars should not be for all, then it should be for none. If middle class kids have to go get handicapped by loans then poor kids can, too. -

"Free Education" is a fallacy. Especially when majority of it should be subsided by the state at public universities. Public Colleges used to be affordable to working class without massive debt and poorest (but academically eligible) students could go virtually free. Also the gap between starting pay for a college graduate and highschool graduate USED to justify the investment in a college degree. Collectively as a society we have let the value of an education decline along with the value of labor. What you are describing with walk ons hoping to earn a scholarship is an unpaid internship. Capitalism has many great side effects for soceity when implemented with solid guardrails. "Unpaid Agreements" that on the surface appear primarily benefit the organization taking advantage of the most desperate people should be always critically reviewed, studied, and improved when possible. The only IMPROVEMENT that seems to be happening is minimally complying with some concept of fairness while allowing the biggest brands to keep majority of revenue. It seems that very few in power really care about academic/career development of the student athletes. If they really cared about the education of the student athletes then in conference revenue sharing would be directly tied to graduate rates and academic progress. Also bonus credit for degrees valued the most to the current labor market should be considered. All the current moves being made aren't about the student athletes. They are only compromises try to continue to produce a good TV show and maximum revenue rolling in for the "right brands". -

K-State pays 2 million for one basketball player for one year
This dude ain’t even that great. I think of him as kind of a “glue guy.” He knows his role and does it well, but he’s not a star.- 1

Yes this is correct. Ultimately the athletic departments will become the "Employer" and the athletes the "Employee". The only issue I can see being an obstacle at this point is title 9. -
