Would you be cool with paying coaches in tuitiion, room and board, and meal vouchers and everything else you listed?
quote:I think we both know if the University starts paying for one parent, everyone else is going to jump on that train and then you will have many who are wanting the same. You do one hand out, you do many.
every athlete's parent is taken care of, that's where we've stooped to?
quote:Correct I got paid while there but I did not get half the free stuff they did, so therefore it worked out. I would have gladly traded working at the fricking mall to have free housing, books, tuition, meals, a stipend, etc. I would have taken every fricking walking class, jogging class, women lit class available.
Except you don't get paid, and if you do in some cases, the FBI gets involved...who wouldn't love that!!!
Then I will take the exposure playing for a university gave me and go and make my money, money that will set me up for life.
If they pay them, then they should make them pay like any other college student. Seems fair

quote:It isn't even that they should pay them, it is that they should be allowed to make money on their likeness however they see fit because the days of amateur athletics went out the window years and years ago.
