13. The problem with your argument...

...is that the scholarship value doesn't come close to the amount of money the institution receives. So Reggie Bussh received $100,000 in tuition, room, board, etc from USC. They made 10s of millions off of him! Employees at non-unionized sweatshops get a better cut!

And don't give me that "education is priceless" BS. En engineering degree from Stanford is priceless. A sports medicine degree from USC only gets you an application to grad school.

Plus, have you played football??? I only played high school and I should have received a 5-figure salary for those hits! I can't imagine PAC-10 football!!!
