Boohoo. Remind me again how much college players make for doing the same job.

Actually an interesting point.  Many of them make $20k or more.  If you assume an out of state student at a $45k university getting a 1/3 scholarship that is $15k plus the incidentals probably pushing it up to $20k.  Then if you factor in the hours committed they probably earn significantly more than any low minor league player.  BTW at Michigan out of state tuition is over $60k and most are at $40-45.

Then there is the idea that College Sports might be one of the only other places that labor is abused MORE than in Milb - especially in Football and basketball.  Migrant workers would be the other group.
