These people are playing to fund the school, someone is getting paid and it is not the student. From the outside looking in, student athletes have been taken advantage of by these organizations. Gary Walters is the Athletic Director at Princeton University, he is the only person who represents one of these organizations and is on the opposing side of the conversation.
