Right.

They do rig it of course but by seedings to ensure (or try to. ManYoo ) the big sides get through to the last 16.
After that I don't buy it's rigged. If Real and Barca get drawn together before the final, assuming they keep getting through, then will you accept you may be wrong?
Do the FA do the same with the FA Cup? If so then surely it would have been better to keep City and Utd apart in the 3rd round so they both get further...or was that rigged to make an exciting 3rd round clash?
Unless you've got any statistically significant data to show that draws are not random then while I agree there are financial motives I don't buy they rig the draw.
