Shows how retarded the NCAA are. Reciving cash from sponsors does not make someone a professional by definition. However being paid to play another sport does make them one. Yet the amateur is being punished by a sport that claims to be run under the principals of amateur athletics. Personally I think endorsements are a great idea anyway considering everyone is making cash off these kids apart from the kids. Just look at the TV deals and jersey deals. They should be allowed to do endorsements and still be amateur by definition. It would also cut down the amount of crime within college sports teams.

Acutally, it would probably rise crime within college sports because only the big time starters would be getting these endorsements and their would certainly be some back-up players who would get jealous and try to steal something from their teammate.
