NCAA ownership of athletes
?Looking at this, and I can't believe this situation can survive another twenty years. If the Expos wanted to hire a comp science student-developer to do work for them, while the kid still goes to school, no one would think of stopping the kid. No one would think of stopping a student-musician from playing in a band while going to school, or simply trying to make a living of any kind. Except athletes. Suddenly, a student-athlete is a piece of property. That's because there is no such thing as a student-developer or a student-musician: they are students. By creating this class of persons, a student-athlete, it allows the owner (i.e., the college) to create rules of ownership.
