The problem with your argument is how profitable OSU football is. And the fact that 25 years ago, no one would have sneezed at what they did. They sold their property. That’s it. It either belongs to them, or it doesn’t.

I want to get rid of the comment about OSU football. In fact, you are 100% right. Contracts are contracts, and should be honored. I feel the contract should be changed, and conflated the issues. My apologies

Profits are never a problem. As I said before, they're hardly exploited since they are getting plenty in return, whether you want to admit it or not. That's been covered.

Yes, it's their property. They're entitled to sell it....after they leave college. While at the university, they are still under NCAA rules and must adhere to them. This was a clear violation.

The fact "25 years ago, no one would have sneezed at what they did" is patently false. Maybe you're unaware of what happened with SMU in the 80s. Players received rent free apartments, allowances, etc. It's one of the main reasons the current rules are in place.

Considering only one of the five has said anything about returning to OSU next year, I think the other four are likely NFL bound and will somehow be just fine.
