I often wonder how someone like Chelsea Thomas, who was a pretty big local celebrity and a big name in a sport that parents pay a lot of money for their kids to play at a competitive level.

Millions of dollars in endorsements? Definitely not. But I bet a top softball player could easily get a couple nice local endorsements, some camp work over the summer, and maybe, if they're really good, a softball equipment endorsement deal. They won't get rich, but it would at least cover the full cost of college, which most of them don't get in that sport.

               free market means letting the NCAA make its own decisions - SuperTone MU - 9/12 06:50:01
