Reality, these kids (and they are kids, young men - not woman who cares about woman sports) are making billions for their colleges and the NCAA and are given scholarships which are not realistic in today's world. The NCAA also maked big bucks off these kids in every sport (basketball $6.2 billion) and the kids get very little. Tressel got a two game suspension ( he violated his contract - violated) from the college he made millions for and I doubt the NCAA will meet out any harsh punishment. If the kids made what their efforts were worth there would not be these problem in college athletics.
From the USA Today - "Against that economic backdrop, state legislators have endorsed a stipend for University of Nebraska football players, and lawmakers in California, Texas and Iowa are weighing their own athlete-welfare measures. A former UCLA football player, Ramogi Huma, founded the Collegiate Athletes Coalition to act as an advocate, even aligning with the United Steelworkers of America."
