These guys aren't allowed to have part time jobs like some of us has in college to supplement income, and many of them come from impoverished families.


Funny, I don't recall getting a lot of the privileges they enjoy either.

You guys are spending thousands on team gear, obsessing over these athletes, and yet you don't want them to get a little more financial help because of what?


Because it will never be enough. Give the kids a $1500 stipend, they will say they need $3000. Give them that, they'll say they need $10,000.

What are they going to buy that they aren't already getting?

Funny, I don't recall anybody giving a shite or giving money to the school to watch your intramural team go 4-5 in the B league.

What'd you do for the school? Were you part of multi-billion dollar business that brought in millions of dollars to the school's athletic department?
