  I hate how liberally you people throw around the word scam. I agree that college athletes should be paid, but that doesn’t make the system a ‘scam’.
context: Athletes get a free education and the opportunity to earn money through endorsement deals. Only football and men's basketball are profitabile. There may be a handful of women's basketball teams that make money. It's about profit, not revenue. 
  Thousands of college football players graduate each year and they compete for maybe a couple hundred NFL jobs. Some sports don't have professional leagues. >
  
  The Olympics also, the organizers rake in billions while the athletes get next to nothing.
