Tim Tebow Called Out By ESPN Colleagues, Media, NFL Players For Saying College Athletes Shouldn't Make Money

I love that they're complaining about all this shit with sports, when the fact is, their tuition isnt playing for shit really, the football program at Oregon brings in millions of dollars. That money is why big University's have top of the line learning centers, a,beautiful campus and much more that they completely over look. But since they aren't getting something that is strictly for their benefit then they have an issue. The fact is the athletic programs bring in a fuck ton of money, these students are putting their bodies on the line and they are doing it to have a better future. The same as any other student. The school is making millions off of these kids names and their personal achievements, and they have the nerve to say. "They get a scholarship, they shouldnt get any money" but yet if the get seriously hurt and they have to quit the team, the school offers them nothing, including taking their scholorship. If the school made millions off of their names, the ones complaining how they shouldn't get money" they'd be fucking livid. And go to the teachers to be paid more? The fuck? College professers make good money while the athletes make jack shit. Most of the athletes had no other choice but to do sports because it was a way out. Some of them do it because it's the only thing they're good at.
Athletic departments bring in the money and they think they're entitled to that money because they a tuition. Nobody forced you to go to that college. Nobody forced you to pay. You chose to go that Uni because of personal reasons, same as them. It blows my mind that these colleges make millions off of these kids and ppl think the players don't deserve shit because they get a scholarship. They dont even get to pick what they wanna major. They basically get told, this is what you can do. Then they try using the whole, "they don't have to play sports, they chose to do sports" sure, they could say fuck sports. But in reality, they can't. They're given an opportunity to better their lives for them and their families, at a price that means destroying their bodies. But the college can post their picture up and count the cash coming in because of this person's dedication to be the best. But that money should go to the people who don't give a fuck about the sport and the only contribute by paying tuition. They fail to realize that their university has all the nice shit to better their education because of the players.
