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.

Pretty sure they get more than this.

You evidently have no contact with the real world and the cost to two hamburgers, fries and two cokes, gas for the car and the price of a picture show, not to mention going to a club.
I think failure to address the issue head on is to ask for corrupt system we have now, encouraging young people to lie and cheat.
yes I think they need a stipend probably in the neighbor hood of $100/week. I have no knowledge of the actual amount of legitimate cash they are now currently allotted. If they are dependent on their families for such cash then I think they need a stipend.
