Yeah, $450 a month sure goes a long way.

If you had somebody buy you one meal a day, could you get by on $5,400 a year?

I worked my way through college and left college with a whopping 9k in student loans after 4 years. My parents could afford it but I did it myself anyway. Guess what, if I could have had $400 a month clean and clear after everything was paid for by the school, and no bullshite top of the line stuff, I would have been in heaven.

They have access to the best facilities, nutritionists, strength and conditioning trainers, food and top of the line dorms if they choose to stay there. I don't feel sorry for them.

As for the Title 9 argument, I found it really funny when some guy on tv said that they needed to pay players and just do away with title 9. Well, you know what? That would probably piss off a lot of schools that have spent close to a billion dollars each over the last 40 years if not a higher dollar amount.
