Clearly it doesn't mean as much to them as it did decades ago. Meanwhile, the people getting rich off this are getting richer than they were decades ago, yielding a foundation not so sturdy as a few decades ago.

The bubble is going to burst regardless of whether these Missouri football players walk or not. Schools are finding it harder to make money, prices are rising above what the average person can afford. It's going to fall apart in a few years.

The "student athlete" is a myth. At most schools, these kids get academic waivers, some get cars, money, clothing, etc. It's semi pro ball masquerading as a collegiate program.
