..how much does a four year education cost at the University of Georgia?

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

True. And the company you work for makes a lot more money off your work than they pay you for, too. If they didn't, they would go out of business. That is life.

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....

And when they don't make it in the NFL, and they see big businesses making money, what will they do? Put their hand out and ask for more money?
Did they not understand what they would and would not get when they signed the scholarship? If they wanted money immediately they should have gone and gotten a job. Do you know how much overtime I had to work so I could pay for my daughter's education at UGA? She was in the Honor's program...but I had to pay for her room, board and spending money. Imagine...somebody having to work for what they get. The nerve.
Worse yet...the company I worked all that overtime for STILL made a lot of money off my work. I don't know where these companies get off thinking they should make a profit off my work!
