I think this just demonstrates some of the fundamental issues with college sports. Universities and the broadcasters make millions of dollars off of these kids, may of which are barely able to afford living expenses themselves. I don't think these kids should be punished for trying to make some money selling shoes.
The school gets a ton of money. The coaches get a ton of money. The NFL, gets all of the benefits of a de facto development league for free. The students who put their bodies on the line are left out to dry. Heaven forbid they get a career ending injury before they get to the draft.
Let them sell the damned shoes.
Been trying to find info on the shoes they sold. The only info I found was that they are UNC special edition Jordan 3's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are the Jordan 3 UNC PE AJ3-UNCPE.
They are selling for $3k-$4k. I don't blame a single one of them for selling the shoes.
