Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 1776708, member: 5429"] You keep harping on this. College athletes are held to a MUCH higher standard than regular students. They have to practice a ton, and also keep up with all their classes, along with playing the actual games, travel, etc. Most regular students have no such time constraints. (well, other than Xbox and partying) How many normal students have regular drug testing? That'd be ZERO. And not that they'd have much time to do so, but scholarship athletes can't have a part-time job either. Nor can they use their skills/likenesses/etc for monetary gain while in college. Yes - they do have a lot of academic support, but then again - many of them are borderline qualified to be in college in the first place, so they need to have that. Did you risk a career-ending injury in college? Probably not. They do, every day. [/QUOTE]
