What's wrong with this picture?
I'm a college athlete....a football player. I have earned many trophies, rings, plaques....I have received many gifts.
These things...I thought ......were mine. And being mine....I can do with...what I please.
So ...I sell some of my things.....for money and other services.
But the NCAA says, "That's a violation". They suspend me for 5 games....the first 5 games of next season.....but wait....
They're letting me play in a bowl game in 2 weeks. They've got to get their money. And these fans.....pay to see me play.
Greed......good for the NCAA.......bad for me.....the college athlete.
From the Columbus Dispatch:
Football
Ohio State
pays the price
NCAA suspends four stars, two reserves for selling memorabilia, getting discounts
