Gear...lol
Food...a basic human need, not something special.
Room...again, lol.  We give prisoners food and rooms too.  So what?
Fame?  Really?  These two kids are famous?  To who? And for the small percent that do have "fame"...is that fame putting any dollars in their pockets and if not...why?  Does it really matter then?

The world by the balls...Good God.  They have a great opportunity, sure.  They get to go to school for free(which means much more to some than it does to others for various reasons) to play a sport they presumably love at a high level of competition, and I'm sure many have a lot of great experiences that many of us would've loved to have. They also have a ton of obstacles that don't need to be there, and at the end of it the great majority of them have to go try to make a living the same way we all do.  Great opportunity...sure.  World by the balls though?

Do you think all these kids that screw it up are just destined to be idiots and bad people and couldn't do better with a little more help?  I try not to assume the worst in people.  I think more of these kids/young men could and would do better if those running this whole huge business college football thing cared about them, were less greedy, and did things just a little bit differently.
