All student athletes dont bring in the same amount of money for the university. I support a stipend because they are treated like unpaid employees. Who are we to "discipline" grown men who arent getting paid. A lot of people get financial aid and arent subject to scrutiny.

They already get a stipend for living off campus.
I haven't heard how much is being paid right now, but I would guess about 1K a month.
Throw in 4 roommates and that's about $800 a month spending money.
The problem isn't getting spending money.
It's not spending it on cars, insurance, cell phones, NFL Packages, etc..
The problem is locking themselves into contracts that take all of the spending money and leave nothing for the girlfriend.

Word! A lot of people can go to UGA for relatively cheap, like I said my brother went there and he only had to pay for his apartment, which is what normal people have to do anyway. He didnt have to pay no 150K a year or over 4 years like that clown made it out to be. Yeah if you dont get any help, yeah maybe it might cost that much, but for these stupid players (which yall pointed out), then they would qualify for help anyway. If they couldn't keep the grades, they wouldnt get to play anyway.
Students on scholarships are not drug tested or whatever. As long as they can maintain there grades, they keep it, regardless how many drugs they are on. But football players are held to a different standard, even though they bring in millions for the school. They dont get paid for this, but any screw up and it becomes public and you better not fail a drug test. These football players do so much for the school, more so than the reg students (i know this is tough for some of yall to swallow), yet they dont get a dime. Its messed up. atleast a few ppl realize this, and others like this form of slavery.

They are getting paid. You don't seem to understand this. They receive tuition, room and board and stipends. That is payment. And how do you discipline regular students if they aren't getting paid. You know, the ones who actually have to PAY to go to school. Your argument simply makes no sense. You are not thinking your arguments through.

Not true at all. There are kids getting kicked out of school all the time that receive no financial aid whatsoever...and many that DO receive financial aid. Many of them for the exact same things football players are. Let a "regular" student get caught smoking weed in the dorms and see what happens.
