Having a sister who walked onto an NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Team, I can assure you she wouldn't consider herself "very well paid". Possibly that is true in revenue generating sports (e.g., men's football & basketball), but less likely in the others. Her net gain out of an entire season was a pair of shoes and some serious eating at the training table with the football team.</font>
I agree. Even in the major men's sports (like football and basketball), only a handful of them ever are "well paid" after their collegiate career ends, most of them end having to get regular jobs like the rest oof the world. Remember that there are only about 1,800 players in the NFL and they are the only well-paid professional football players. There are less than 500 NBA players. In the other sports, major income earning opportunities are even fewer and far between. In any case LET THEM KEEP MILES!
