The fact that they don't go to class shows the NCAA as the scam it is. It's a pro league where the athletes aren't getting paid, but are getting a chance to audition for the big leagues while the schools and leagues rake in millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, everyone else involved is getting paid, because they have the ability to bargain for appropriate compensation. This includes the lowest paid concession worker all the way up to the coach and the AD, who are likely raking it in, especially at the bigger name programs. Saban gets paid $9 million a year. That's not what you pay someone who is involved in education. He makes more than the average NFL coach.
