Not really my point. I'm saying, the age old argument of, "they are being compensated!" is kind of ridiculous. It's like saying professional athletes are overpaid as the owners of the team make billions off of them as the product.
The NCAA is profiting significantly using unpaid labor predominately with college football and basketball (men's).
So, when a fan tells me something like, "player X should stay another year and develop!" it makes me cringe because they really shouldn't. If they can play professionally in any capacity they should do that as soon as humanly possible.
