Probably thru donations and advertising.<BR/>Players see their jersey sold for $50 and their name on the back. Their take on that, nothiing. NCAA makes money, college makes money, kids do get an education. Hoefully they take advantage of that.<BR/>4gotmorethanuknowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-85778822456030334072009-03-21T20:05:00.000-05:002009-03-21T20:05:00.000-05:00The college provides the students the scholarship....The college provides the students the scholarship.

Also a shame that many of the athletes treat it the same way. I'm not sure that cutting them in on the profits will do anything positive towards fixing that.Pederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979481342103258777noreply@blogger.com
