I truly feel that majority of kids transitioning into the college world of athletics do not have reality in perspective. I posted in another topic that only about 1% of college athletes make it to the professional level. Less than that actually makes a living at it (meaning playing that sport is their only source of income). I feel that everyone should never give up on their dreams of playing professional sports... UNTIL it's time to start dreaming another dream. College is NOT for everyone. That statement includes athletes. So what is the institution pockets millions and millions of dollars on athletics? That is the business plan that they, NCAA and institutions, have developed. I feel the same people who argue that college athletes need to start getting paid because they have nothing are the same people who argue that professional athletes make too much money.
