i have a question: even though the school is getting the money, how can the players NOT be compensated for their involvement in the show? are you telling me that 50 kids are all going to sign on to participate on a TV show for free? i really don't see that happening... which brings me to the NCAA: say there is a kid on the team that has D-1 offers... would not the compensation for participation in the show construe as getting payed to play in the eyes of the NCAA? would not receiving compensation violate the amatuer status of the participants?

WTF is ESPN thinking... screwing with the lives of a bunch of kids in the name of entertainment is exploitative at best...

i don't think that ANY good can come from this...
