Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 673824, member: 837"] Yeah, we definitely sidetracked this thread. Just as a final note, however: I have zero ill will towards players and athletes getting certain advantages. I'm all for getting rid of admission standards in any way, shape or form. I'm honestly fine with it. I just don't really understand the logic in arbitrarily handing them money. If anything, carve out time for them to have a job, even if it means less practicing and lifting, etc. In fact, I'd argue that schools should be encouraging not only internships but semesters abroad, etc. Honestly, I'm cool with this stuff, but I just struggle to see how these athletes are in a disadvantaged position in any way, shape or form. Edit: And I also couldn't agree more on the wild athletics spending. It's mind-blowingly wasteful. [/QUOTE]
