    QUESTION: So NCAA, if eligibility rules did not exist, would any member schools hire athletes that were not students, or hire athletes who had played for more than four years??




    ANSWER: Well, Yes. Of course they would.

    QUESTION: Did the players agree to this rule or play any sort of role in the making of this rule??

    ANSWER: No



    Then the eligibility rules are in violation of antitrust law and they gotta go. Schools have the right to do as they like.
    Where in the world or what do you do for a living that you believe any of what you

    laid out makes sense? Are you a labor organizer? Millions and millions of people
    go to work every day without representation. They get paid and work for companies that abide by rules. For example insurance companies administer workers compensation benefits for injured employees. Any insurance ompany that provides this coverage pays a pre determined amount for time off. Whether the person injured is a doctor or a janitor. The greeter at Walmart
    doesn't get to have a % of the Waltons fortune. This whole argument reeks of Socialism. And as much as I loathe government intervention it's time for
    Congress to enact anti trust exemptions to the colleges and fix this mess. It's
    beyond me why people think this no rules, players are entitled to unlimited
    compensation and freedom even though they agreed to a signed legal
    document is ok.
