There are more than 85 college athletes on campus........

It's almost like you replied before reading the full post

Dang, watch him try to be inconspicuous in looking behind him at the marker so he knows where to put the ball. Cheating like a mf’er

the Bama Shuffle...

GO BIG ORANGE!

Or give some of it to the players who actually make these earnings possible..

That's not how slavery works

Truer words have never been spoken. Dabo says “shame on us”.. “Its about the players”..
while he’s making north of $9 Million a year.

Reminds me of when lebron stated last year that the nba owners were like slave owners

 

[LargeOrange1]

Can't they use some of that to train referees, or get new ones?

Sankey is a gutless turd! Hold refs accountable!!!!!

Vandy says big thanks, as they laugh on their way to the bank.

And the programs actually gives the players the opportunities to play, get their education, get their notoriety and exposure for not only the nba but for other employment opportunities. Nah, players get enough already imho.

Says Dabo Sweeney whose making north of $9 Million a year. It’s garbage. College athletes deserve the right to profit off of their skills.

Um, this is not why there is a crisis. Out of state tuition at UT is around $30k annually. Even in-state is $10k or so. You add that up over 4 years plus book expenses and other fees. Even if you had a job that you were fortunate enough to earn decent money at, it wouldn't pay for an apartment and food.

...anyway...

I understand, but many students are taking loans and paying for stuff they dont need.

And since the Tressel scandal at OH St, players get cost of attendance to pay for the artwork and what not. Room and board ... especially athlete type meals is nothing to sneeze at either. Most students don't have a dietitian checking up on their needs and seeing that they are met.

That's not a bad idea but when would they have time to work? And what companies would be willing to work around their crazy schedules. I hate the whole "well they get a free education and a place to live" argument. They bust their ass every day and put their body on the line to make these schools and coaches millions upon millions of dollars. They should receive a stipend and imo the only way it will work and be fair is if it's the same amount across the board. If you play football for a FBS team you automatically get an X amount of money. 1 time payment each semester. Dont matter if you play for Bama or Vandy or FIU. Theres ways they could make it work.

There is a stipend. Read up on Cost of Attendance. Why does nobody ever seem to know about this?

At Tennessee ($5,666), Auburn ($5,586) and Mississippi State ($5,126), cost-of-attendance stipends will provide student athletes with more than $5,000 in extra spending money this school year.

SEC coaches react to wide cost-of-attendance disparity; new league rules require transparency
