It doesn't affect student athletes all that much. There will still be a draft, as always.

The draft affects a relatively small amount of college athletes.

So what else do you think they are losing from not having a tournament?

The opportunity to play at the highest level they'll ever play at?

So, bragging rights? Not exactly worth staying in school for an entire year for that. And what's the guarantee they actually get to play in the tournament next year?

Whoever came up with the term “student athlete” when talking about slaves in college is a genius!
I like to think if that term never existed then maybe society wouldn’t let universities exploit them for millions of dollars while paying them nothing.

I see you removed your earlier racist comment about student athletes being slaves and decided to double down and write it again. So I’ll double down too - you should be banned for this comment.

The compensation model for college athletics is problematic but the entire system is voluntary. You diminish the evilness of slavery by trivializing it by equating it to college students playing a game of their own free will.
