Don't forget that those guys getting a free ride for sports...

1) Sell lots of school memorabilia 2) Put tens of thousands of butts in seats at games at $20+ a pop 3) Allow the school to earn money via TV and radio advertising, concessions, parking, programs 4) Allow the school to earn money via bowl games etc etc.

I'm not going to stand by the system as it is, but IMO, college athletes get paid very little for the amount of revenue they bring into their perspective schools. There's probably 50k+ Timmy Tebow jerseys out there now that were sold at $50 a piece as an example...bet his "full ride" is $30k a year...
