I'm pretty sure every key player at major schools get paid. They all have mustangs, camaros, etc. Some even have beamers and Mercedes.
I could post a long list of ncaa athletes with cars that I'm skeptical they can afford.

I have a very, very hard time caring about college athletes receiving "impermissible benefits". Everyone does it and the players deserve it. Lol @ the NCAA.

Shaquille didn't drive anything fancy that I remember. Roberts had some big sled though and hung out at north gate liquor.

Players should be paid anyway

As long as they use that money to pay for the education, training, support, room, board, TV exposure, gear, coaching, medical care, travel, and everything else they are provided free of charge as they step completely debt-free into a multi-million dollar career in pro sports, or an enhanced career courtesy of four years of TV exposure, advertising, branding, promotion, training, and education.

The idea that college athletes are not compensated is laughable. Ed O'Bannon is a thieving piece of shite, and his life benefited thousands of times more from his time at UCLA than UCLA did. Without O'Bannon, UCLA is still a legendary basketball program generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues, built by legends like John Wooten, Bill Walton, Kareem, and generations of loyal fans. Without UCLA, Ed O'Bannon is an unknown nobody. So, yeah, sure, it makes total sense that HE would sue THEM.
PoS.

Outside of that they should 100% be able to benefit from their own fame. Autographs, commercials etc

Y'all are full of crap....Shaq drove an orange and green El Camino with no back windshield. It was modified so he actually sat in the bed to drive. It had a Sunkist Logo on the driver side door, and he used to drive it through the parade grounds and throw oranges at people. I never really understood why he did that.

Driving cars they can't afford doesn't always make a situation dirty. When I was in dental school my parents were covering my living expenses. I borrowed about twice what I needed in student loans to put rims on my car, buy a nice car stereo, buy stuff for my girlfriend, etc. - for the simple reason that I knew I could eventually pay it back easily and the interest rate was low. These guys all think they are going pro.

Yeah he did. And the ncaa came and investgated him for it untill he showed them it didn't have service. He does have a book that has a glimmer into his college life. He drove a bronco. He worked in construction. And even though he had a scholarship he took out a pail grant so he can afford certant things while in college. Now you can't always take people's word. But if the ncaa investigated him about a fake phone I'm pretty sure he didn't take money

I was probably in your class. I had two classes with him while at LSU and pretty sure one was a ECON class.

I ever see Ed O'Bannon I'm going to fight him. I don't care if I get beat down in the process. What that dude has done to NCAA Football video games should earn him death.....
