There are tons of players that think like this. Adrian Peterson has been a huge proponent of this and even compared it to slave labor. Not that I agree with it but Brandon Langley is not the first to say football players should be compensated and in some ways I agree. The school makes a shite ton of money and the stipends are generally small but I understand what your saying but these kids are uber talented athletes that have had people kissing their asses for years. You think that education thing they are getting means anything....hardly. If you ask most of them they wouldn't even go to school if they could avoid it. Just look at the NBA.



i dont give a damn...how much does a four year education cost at the University of Georgia?

They are getting paid...you got a lot of kids who would die to go to UGA and are settling for coastal georgia community college cause that is what they afford...how much $$$ is Peterson making now?...how did he get there?...would he have the same success in the NFL had he not honed his skills in college, gotten bigger, etc?...frick no...bball players can go stright to the NBA nand be fine, but football?...they need those four years...to grow...if nothing else....plus, they need an education whether they want it or not....what are they if they blow a knee out if no education of some sort?...nothing but another uneducated punk with no skills for real life...at least the eduction provides them with something...these guys are whiny little bitches....period...

and Jamies Winston knew exactly what the frick he was doing, and I doubt he is starving...

Free vocational training with the aide of advertisement and job placement from said vocational trainer.

Stealing is stealing no matter what. And to justify it as if they were starving is downright ludicrous

Less than the revenue they generate for the Athletic department that pays for it... considerably

...and technically, they only get it year to year.



A lot of these kids are broke and do not have spending money of much consequence. Much less than the average student I would dare say. When you are broke and young and you see all the money being spent on football at UGA and other schools. It is easy to feel the way these guys do....Feel free to judge this situation from the perspective of a 40 year old white guy if you want....
