I really believe the players deserve an "allowance" from the department, maybe $40 to $50 a week for pizza, burgers, and movies/dates. There was one player 20 years ago from my home town that was so poor that he had nothing. Dad did not work and mother was a fry cook in a 24 hr. grill. Probably got $1.65 an hour then. My dad bought him a suit for his all-state banquet because he did not have one. Nothing. We both gave him spending money sometimes because we wanted to. He did go on to the pros and settled in a major city far away, bought his parents a brick home, etc. He turned out good. He needed $50 a month to buy deodorant, toothpaste, shoes, etc. An allowance is needed. Another guy from our hometown came from parents that had good jobs and good income,he didn't need anything,parents made over $100,000. a year. He left LSU and became a coach and is successful. Some need it,some don't.
