no shit. This dude was 3rd generation legacy at Nebraska and came from an upper middle class family from Colorado. Your circumstances are different ass.


I usually would not chime in on this type of issue, but today's ruling at Northwestern with the football team "unionizing" is just wrong. Yes, colleges are making a ton of money from top sports programs, and while I can see how the players could argue that they are the ones making it for them, and should get a share, I just find it CRAZY! It is an honor to play for a college and wear that name on your jersey. Many athletes are already on full rides and get stipends for living expenses, so they will leave college debt free (and possibly with some money if they use it wisely). What happened to the days when people were just proud to be a part of something great? What's next, do we start paying the 8-10 year old kids who are committing early (according to rivals.com), since they are the ones who bring the crowds to their games and should get part of the snack bar profits? COME ON PEOPLE!


So if they are employees do they get taxed as any other working person? If so they have to pay tax on their scholarship as well than! See if they like that and I bet you will see the tide turn lol

His Boy:
If players get paid then they should have to pay for their benefits, their scholarship, their fees to the training table, all those personal sessions with the strength and conditioning coaches, their pads and equipment, housing, therapy rehab, tutoring sessions... Gosh things will sure add up quickly for all those student-athletes who want to be payed and the coaches/admins/education professionals will really cash in on a large pay day then.
