he wants to be the champion of this cause, but gives a total pussy answer and doesn't at least recognize he has a hand in this himself

Yes, athletes get compensated. But the amount of money the schools and networks make far outweighs the compensation the athletes receive.

First of all there's a BIG difference between schools and networks, schools are non-profit, while networks are for profit.

Second of all, the compensation for his education an athlete receives is totally dependent on him. An athlete can turn his scholarship into an engineering degree, or business degree, that he can turn around and make millions with - it all depends on him. But he is given that chance by the school, not by the network.
