If they are in state players, and its a public uni, that [censored] is way cheaper than 150k. Either way, why would this be any concern? Star players bring enormous amounts of attention to their schools while they are there. They don't owe the schools anything once they are gone.

Re: NFL games: What high school did players attend?
I'm pretty sure that the free market value for most of the top talent coming out of high school is substantially higher than the cost/value of the scoolarships offered...
If not, why would recruiting be such a dirty buisness? /Bjorn

Re: NFL games: What high school did players attend?
There is really no NFL market for top high school talent. Players just aren't developed enough as in basketball etc. It'd probably end up being like baseball if they could take kids outta high school.
Anyway, players don't owe schools anything. They play football, get a fake degree they'll never use and are pretty much worthless.

My mom works for the university of illinois administration. I remember that after the super bowl (i think) when Simeon Rice announced his school as "The School of Hard Knocks," she said that alot of people in the administration were really upset by it and there was alot of discussion about the comment on campus afterwards. [/ QUOTE ] lavar arrington said his name was "mr. nickels (his number is 55), school of hard knocks." it caused no controversy anywhere cuz everyone knows he sucks and is a moron.

I'd tell them to get over themselves. b
