This should also be distributed on Netflix so a wider audience can see it.

They aren't slaves, no sir. Student "atho-leets"

LeBron James was never a college student-athlete. The NBA screwed up college basketball with their rule that you have to play one year of college basketball before playing in the league.

The fact that “student Athletes” can’t even benefit from their own likeness. Is messed up.
Really NCAA getting away with robbery. The are athletes 1st students 2nd

Tru they do get fucked over these athletes especially the ones who are poor should be given a stipend but not a salary cuz then u have to pay the other sports. Plus at certain schools u can only do certain majors but it’s ur job to make sure the school u go to has the major u want to do and that coach will let u do. Often times these guys get caught up with playing in the league that they get forget about education. Not saying they aren’t screwed over because they should be able to paid for getting their jerseys signed or they should get a stipend to put gas in their car. But if u pick a school just for football what do u expect is going to happen

Yeah Student Athlete? Collage & Basket Ball... Coaches and everyone else gets paid than them and Future than these Kids.. I feel they would be better in Baseball with their skills and gifts for a longer Pro Career..

Most of them can barely spell "cat", no wonder those pit vipers are taking advantage of them!

Student athletes get paid big-time! Most get full -ride scholarships which include tuition, lodging, meals, books & lab expense, and even tutoring services. The problem isn't with the school, it's with the parents raising these "student" athletes and their lack of emphasizing the importance of the education (as opposed to the sport). When did going to college become the next step to becoming a professional athlete?

Don't play - focus on STEM them. I supposed to feel bad because Tyrone did't get to play in NBA? :D
