“Free” by cujays96

Bullshit.

Was the compensation right based on the money being made off the athletes work? No. Especially in the case of schools who seemed barely interested in ensuring the athletes doing anything more than being academically eligible for four seasons. Financially, they get a better deal than the rest of the student body. They don’t graduate(A reach at some schools.) tens of thousands of dollars in debt like most students. This isn’t some unpaid internship at a firm for the Summer.

Please, don’t use the word “free”. They were being compensated. But it was more like being paid minimum wage while the CEO earned a seven figure salary with a high five to low six figure bonus every year.
