re: College Football Free Agency Is Here

. In fact, you could draw a correlation to football players to slaves, in that the players have no voice and are told to what to do, when to do it and they have absolutely no voice in anything.

No actually you can’t. Athletes are treated much better than normal students. Free tuitions, room and board, waiver of fees, free books, free meals, free tutors. Don’t forget free summer school and intersessions.

Now, do they work their asses off and dedicate full time work to the university? Yep. But so do a lot of academic students. Hell, I did for my scholarship. The only difference was that if I transferred to another school for another scholarship, I wasn’t prohibited from participating in academics at the new school.

Poaching of players will not really hurt the tops of the power 5. It will kill group of 5 and weaker power 5 teams though
