This is the main reason I haven't given one F about what ESPN had to say about the Simmons thing. It's wrong to exploit student athletes for monetary gain? Then College Football Live, broadcasting of college football, basketball, baseball, etc should all be taken off the air. For crying out loud, ESPN has an entire channel (ESPNU) dedicated to the covering of college athletics. Oh yeah, the Under Armour all American game should be cancelled too. And ESPN subscribers who pay for recruiting info should be fully refunded. ESPN shouldn't make a dime off of college athletes if they feel this way.

It's absolutely hypocritical. I honestly wonder how much money ESPN would lose if they didn't make anything off of college sports. Hell, without college sports, ESPN probably isn't the most well known name in sports.

This is a great point. ESPN exploits children for profit every day with their subscriber-based recruiting site, along with 24/7, Rivals, and Scout.

LSU makes money from student athletes, but at least the athletes get something tangible in return.
