It can but it doesn't have to be. You can take a number of sides. For example, If you're a taxpayer perceiving many able-bodied, non-working adults receiving government subsidies that you don't qualify for, would you rather receive a smaller portion of the subsidies or eliminate them altogether?
In this specific example I’d forgo the small portion of the subsidy. Why? Because in the bigger picture getting able-bodied, government-reliant men and women into the workforce might lead to reduced crime, less tax on my worth necessary for these government subsidies and overall better quality of life for everyone, including my family.

I guess society is no longer allowed to have “take it or leave it” offers… who cares if it’s not what they want? They could just choose to not play college sports and someone else could fill that spot

It’s a fair representation of their value because the pool of willing players in that age group at big universities is endless.

Since there never has been a college players Union, they haven’t been able to band together and negotiate the benefits they think they want. If such a union was formed, colleges would be within their rights to shut it all down. In the real world thats what happens if a union gets too egregious

Yes, I always had a huge issue with this. The argument being a scholarship wasn't real money. Which is and was preposterous.
It certainly wasn’t free market compensation and was severely below any real value that major sports stars brought to the university.
It’s a pretty simple conversation, prior to NIL was the athlete ever legally allowed to negotiate for higher compensation?
The answer is no.

Anyone that believes resources should be allocated equally is a fool.

Sure, if you want to completely ignore the entire concept of anti-trust.

Half the country is addicted to oppression fantasies.
We arent equal, we will never be equal in outcome. These children need to move on from their suspended adolescence.

don’t know what version it would be but I don’t really care for the nepotistic hiring practices at the local mill. I feel like it’s created two classes of people. It also ruins the aesthetic of the town. I also know it probably allows a lot of money to flow through the town which is a good thing. It just doesn’t benefit me because I don’t have the familial connections to work there.
Are you confusing “inequity aversion” for “jealousy”?

This is when all the trust fund kids give up all their possessions and live like us regular joes, right?
Oh, no? It's bullshite? They say but don't act on?
I prefer robber barons over these insincere sanctimonious fricks.

"inequity aversion"
Is that what it’s called when one of my kids gets one more expensive toy for Christmas, but still gets butthurt when the other gets a few more less-expensive toys and throws a fit about it?
That shite is annoying AF

No. I make double what they do because they excluded me.

The answer is no.
I never said it wasn't any of that, I just said those claiming athletic scholarships weren't real money - and there were many out there - were wrong.
If you add what a scholarship cost, the free lodging on or off campus, shoes and clothes the free meals the free travel, the free medical care and training, the free lodging when traveling, the free tutoring, per diem and I'm sure I'm leaving several perks out - there was a lot of money spent on student athletes even before the under the table stuff that we all know was happening everywhere.
