    I'd hardly call it "being exploited" when getting a totally "free ride" to a major college. In today's world, the monetary value of the free ride is probably $50-75k per year, and of course there’s always the "off the books" benefits that these athletes get.

     

    We're gonna disagree here.  Many college athletes never even got their degree, but this argument was successfully used for decades to deny the athletes their due.  It also didn't address the vast disparity between the "value" of their education and the amount of money raked in by the colleges and the NCAA.

    One of the travel issues may be traced back to BIA. The runway is not rated for larger commercial aircraft from both length and aircraft weight requirements. This limits the team to smaller, less comfortable jets for travel. From experience traveling more than 100,000 miles per year, I’d much rather sit in a 757/767 than a 737 (even if the doors stay on) and I’m only 5’9”.

     

    BIA?

    I think the OP was confused with what say you? or would you re-sign him?

     

    Whither Spencer Brown, resign or re-sign?  Would make a good poll.

    Am I wrong for being annoyed with the guys who only seem to figure it out in the final year of their rookie deal?  

     

    I think it's also the first season where his back held up without lost time due to injury Virg.
