The hypocrisy of college football seems to know no bounds when it comes to insisting that the players remain amateurs. If they are truly amateurs, they should train like amateurs and the coaches and staff should be amateurs as well and universities should receive “amateur” compensation for ticket sales, broadcasting and merchandising rights. The fact is they train like pros and the coaches and staff are paid like pros. College sports is big business and continuing this charade of acting like college football players are “amateurs” is unjust and dishonest since it deprives the players of just compensation for their efforts. I do not think it is a stretch to compare college football programs to outright chattel slavery since the players are not even officially compensated at anything more than room & board and tuition (my understanding is that most players end up owing some money for the “privilege” of creating millions of dollars worth of entertainment for other people.) The education the typical college ball player receives is a cruel hoax of an education; there are even rules that prevent ball players from taking challenging academic courses.

I would conclude by congratulating Reggie Bush in giving the finger to the NCAA and hopefully there will be more people like him in the future that will expose these college football programs for the corrupt slave plantations that they are. It is really unseemly for these programs to generate such huge profits for everyone but the players who make the game possible.

I strongly disagree with that statement.

The vast majority of Heisman Trophy winners were outsanding individuals who were respected role models for others e.g. Vic Janowicz, Ernie Davis, and Pete Dawkins.

I do not know of very many who could be deemed “horrible”.
