i agree with paying for athletes but y'all acting like they are modern day slaves.

d1 n1ggas live like kings on campus for 3-5 years. not to mention not graduating with 30k of student loans having to make $500 monthly payments and shyt.


in addition, bball and football (and to a lesser extent,baseball) are the money generating sports.yeah, places like alabama / lsu / ohio state and them blue bloods prob could afford to pay ALL their athletes. but what about mens golf at Kent St or some shyt?? volleyball at davidson?

and the argument in the OPis dumb. yeah, most likely dudes are gonna blow straight thru their money like military dudes when they get their stripends and buy mustangs and shyt. Thats what young guys do...
fukk you and your CAC logic. Athlete work hard as fukk and typically earn a useless degree, all while generating millions for the university. Your typical CAC student studying accounting is actually a net negative towards the campus' budget and should therefore pay. Stop rehashing shyt arguments to hide your racial resentment.

Plenty of college students work full time jobs to pay their own way

The only difference is they're not attending these universities for free unlike the punk athletes

40 hours in season is obviously counting the weekend. So like I said 5-6 hours a day. As u see if u keep reading the article. What am I missing?

And teh season is 3 months? Thats 9 months of offseason to focus on academics......

Because america does a masterful job of "those" americans (white people) feel like one day they can be the corporation and all the rules in plays to help the corporations will help them...

They realize it...they just think they can somehow rise above it...and they feel when they do...they want the same benefits that all the people who benefit from it now get
The poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Not usually. The best I could find is about 10% of college students work 35+ hours while also attending full-time

And again, stop with this "for free" nonsense. These "punks" are providing a service, and generate billions, in some cases, in revenue for these universities. Their blood, sweat and tears provides funding for other programs in the school.
