Agree. Lot of folks would take that exploitation

I would have loved to have free meals 5 days a week and a free place to stay.

Arian Foster disagrees.

When the head coach makes more than all 85 guys on scholarship, you have a problem.
At $25k per player, the players make a total of $2.125 million. Even Coach fucking Sark makes more than that by himself. -

These guys are lavished with state-of-the-art facilities, coaching, training, medical support, etc. They get 100% of their tuition/room/board/books paid. They get tons of free meals, free tutoring, free clothes, free travel, and other benefits. Not to mention an education that, statistically, will increase their lifetime earning potential by literally millions of dollars.
When I was in college, I knew guys who would walk on with varsity teams solely for the benefit of priority registration, so they could get first enrollment crack at the classes they needed to graduate on time. There are some noisy malcontents out there; but I suspect most scholarship athletes understand what a screaming deal they're getting. -
It's great when the master gets more compensation than the employees do, even though they are the ones taking the significant physical risks.TTJ said:

Why do you hate Curtis Williams (RIP) anyway?
The artificial wage repression created by the NCAA really should be a federal antitrust violation. -
Puff puff pass.

I make more than my employees. If that's wrong I don't want to be right

Licensing. Rights.
Players deserve them.
Case closed.
Fuck you EA Sports, UW Store, etc.

I can't wait for 18 year olds from the inner city to start making hundreds of thousands of dollars. What could possibly go wrong?

For once we completely disagree. When my foosball career didn't work out I became a ROTC bitch. Full scholly 300 for books and a hundred dollar a month stipend. As my pop would say "I was glad to get it".
Spent the next 21 getting blowed up. No regrets.
But I would love to have had the schollie trainers table and automatic pussy. And a tryout for the NFL.
NO sympathy fuck these kids if that's not enough.
