Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 914254, member: 622"] The article completely passes over that each player is offered a free ride at school. Whether that take advantage of it or not is the issue, the mere fact that they get the free ride in exchange for playing is the issue. I have no issue with paying at athletes on top of their scholarships, everyone needs pizza and movie money in college and they cannot get settled and jobs. Each kid gets the equivalent of $50,000-$60,000/year in education. State schools reduce the outlay but this is done via taxpayers, not because the school is actually providing education for less money than private schools. The public schools merely have millions of sugar daddies and sugar mommas. [/QUOTE]
