<p class="Pioneer 2013-Pioneer.body.copy">Forty-hour work weeks; 13 or even 14 games; summer schedules; bowl seasons that take away the limited time before spring ball; TV networks; coaches making millions; the risk of brain trauma: players were consulted about none of it. And at some point, the dangling of a scholarship as appeasement — the ironic offering of the one thing the player might have little time to pursue: education — is not enough.</p>
<p class="Pioneer 2013-Pioneer.body.copy">In fact, the argument that players are not amateurs is a false one, since it is only the coin universities use as payment — scholarships — that differs from real cash.</p>
