If Tabor thinks it's bad at Florida, he should transfer to Mizzou.....then he'd REALLY feel the wrath of the white devil

Don't kid yourself. His IQ is more like 17 or 18.
There's no way he is anything but a cancer in that locker room. All he does is run dik holster and whine about everything.

Nothing in life is "free". His argument, if it can even be termed that, is specious in the extreme.

Went from one of my favorite players to least favorite in one ill-advised tweet.

Just think, this whining little twit will be a 1st rounder next year yet Tim Tebow can't find a roster spot.

You're getting a FREE education that puts most regular students in thousands of dollars in debt.
Good in sports=scholarship
Good in academics=scholarship

Can you post some statistics to show how many regular students are on 100% scholarship?

I was referring to bars, restaurants, gifts and special access

I wonder what sort of feedback the enlightened Jalen is getting in the twitterverse.

Alabama football in 2014 had a 33 million dollar surplus. That's not including millions of dollars earned that aren't included in that total such as merchandising and mid level tv rights. Since the sec network the surplus will be even higher. I don't see why with so much money changing hands that these kids can't get a 20-30k stipend a year. It would be a big help to some very poor families and kids. These kids by NCAA bylaws can't even have a job through the school year, many have families that can barely pay rent. When I was at Bama there where football players making the University $ but was at my apartment doing laundry because they had no $$. It may not be slavery but it is indentured servitude.

I agree with all of that.
Equating it to slavery is still asinine.

'Good' in academics does not equate to a full ride.
Posted on 1/19/16 at 6:52 pm to mikeb0870
Alabama has a large surplus, yes, but does every school?

He has a choice to play or not.
He should STFU

96% of students at UF received a Bright Futures scholarship: LINK
The criteria for that scholarship is very low. Many many students had a full ride on that scholarship. Then if you applied to other scholarships or were a National Merit Scholar, you get paid to go to UF. It's not that difficult.
It also helps that athletes bring and generate more money to a school directly than a student does.

I'm sure he's doing excellent in his classes.

No it is not, numb nuts. If his family is that bad off, then he always has the option of quitting football and getting a job. While I agree that the system needs to overhauled, it isn't like he doesn't have any choice in whether or not he participates in it.
