No way.

I could go on forever about this subject.

To keep it short I'll throw in one of my favorite quotes from Colin Cowherd:

“These college athletes are being extorted? Well please, extort my kids to Stanford.”

Free education at top tier universities, free food, free housing. If these kids had to spend a day in the life of an average college kid who is up to his/her neck in debt and will be for a while, they would see how lucky they are.

The truth is many college ball players come from a poor background and have no money, maybe only a mother who is on welfare and food stamps. No father in the house. We do need to give them an allowance of maybe $25/$30 a week for movies, burgers, or pizza on a date or with a group of friends. One from my home town had a banquet in B.R. and had no suit or tie. I bought it for him. He later made the pros and can buy and sell me now,but a few years ago he had no money, father didn't work, mother was a fry cook at a grill.
