[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6282324, member: 6750039"] People take those attachments with them when they move and, typically, make those attachments family tradition. College sports aren't money makers solely cuz of regional appeal. Those major markets eat it up just like everyone else - and that's not even considering teams that are in major markets. Well, the professional teams work with the NCAA to make that - kids going from HS to pro sports - as impossible as possible. You need one year at a college in order to declare for basketball and [I]three [/I]for football. Now you don't have to go to college to play pro ball but it's the path you'll take if you're really interested because it's also the one that's most likely to get you in. Skills fade over time and, more importantly, memory fades faster. It doesn't matter if you set high school rushing records if you're out of football for three years and you never once made in on a nationally televised game. Nobody who matters will know who you are. That's by design. The NCAA makes its money and the NFL has a free minor league system. Can't beat it. EDIT: Just for the record, I don't believe education should come at a cost. It's a right, not a privilege. And what we see with this stuff is a smaller chance of that ever becoming a reality. [/QUOTE]
