Quote:It really is amazing that some of these college athletes think they should be payed.


By participating in major college athletics, they receive:


-a free ride (a scholarship that is worth ~$120,000)

-free room and board

-meal plans

-free clothing, shoes, etc. provided by the team

-travel all over the country


They pretty much have it made already.
People always want more


I honestly dont care if they get paid. State Universities already cost the public alot of money and they somehow have the audacity to charge 300$ per text book and thousands$ per semester. I wouldnt mind seeing schools get hammered like they have hammered the public for decades.


All these professors with 6 figure research grants from tax payers money me sick.
