So do they have everything they want or not?
Yes, they have everything they want regarding school... Now you want to argue they want more, I agree, everyone wants more. I wanted to earn more than the 6 bucks an hour Abercrombie paid me during that time as well.

Student-athletes will get no sympathy from me, they have more than most students and have it better off than many as well.

I would have loved the school to take care of my parents while I went to school, would have been lovely and pay me and give me meals for free and books and tuition and clothing and housing

It's not that they want more, it's that they want to be paid differently, or more to the point, like everyone else.

Would you be cool with paying coaches in tuitiion, room and board, and meal vouchers and everything else you listed?

ok yea, every athlete's parent is taken care of, that's where we've stooped to?

Except you don't get paid, and if you do in some cases, the FBI gets involved...who wouldn't love that!!!
