    Yeah, there was a lot of controversy when I was a kid over letting professional athletes compete in the Olympics during the off-season. Plus I’m sure some less scrupulous countries directly fund the programs just under the table. But for this particular case, your issue should be with the rules prohibiting college players from receiving compensation, despite the schools making millions of dollars from their sports programs. Her beef is with the school, not with the nation.
