Maybe there is hope for college football after all

My friend Craig shared this video of Kirk Cousins, quarterback for the ugly sister of Michigan collegiate football, the Michigan State Spartans:



That is outstanding. It is a privilege to play football in the Big Ten.

You get to play football. In the Big Ten. You get a world class education at all of the Big Ten schools except Nebraska and Ohio State. For free. No other major conference offers the same quality of education except maybe the PAC-10. You don't have a right to to get paid, you are already getting a great education and a priceless opportunity that very few people can even imagine.

But what about all the money the colleges make on athletics?

What about all the revenue colleges make on hyper-inflated, government loan driven tuition and random fees?

What about all of the money they make from grants and foundations and naming rights and endowed chairs and on and on?

Great speech and by the way....

GO BLUE!
