I could not agree more. Every college student-athlete knows, or should have known, the rules before they signed on the dotted line. Is it not enough that many of them don't have to go to class or take test (you know they didn't go to English class if you listen to an interview).
It is just like I told my daughter when she was complaining about the 27 page Code of Conduct for her competitive cheerleading gym. You don't want to follow the rules, don't participate....you want to participate, follow the rules.
Also, whenever I hear someone say the NCAA or the institution makes a lot of money off sports, my comment is always the same..."And you point would be?". For everyone on this board that is employed, does your employer make money? You agreed to a level of compensation just like the college athlete.
Participation in college sports is not a right...it is a priviledge.
