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.
