During the Super Bowl we were talking about issues with the college players etc. One of the issues i always have is the way fans fawn over and virtually idolize Clemson (or USC or insert any bigtime program) players... As long as they are playing. The moment these guys end their eligibility (and havent been drafted and become succesful at the next level) its like crickets... Who are you? ...tossed aside... Like this dude.... I just dont like the way they are idolized and yet if you say pay them for all the jerseys etc we are like "nooooo... Cant pay them... No no no...". And dont give me the free tuition and food crap argument. And as soon as the 99 % are finished with their eligibilty they are forgottten... We are idolizing the next Watson or Kelly... Or Beasley. We jump and down in glee over Beasleys decision to return to school because? It benefits Clemson. And if he gets hurt and is never able to get to the NFL? Oh well... Beasley who? Yeah Clemson football players who run up the score on SCState. That is, until they throw a couple of interceptions or run out of years to play....  
Doesnt seem quite right... Give everything all day to us. We get all the profit. If you are super good or lucky you might get paid 4 years from now... Else take that free track suit and deal with it...
