Message: [QUOTE="NKR1978, post: 1006577, member: 186"] Couldn't this be good for us? Penn State can only give you a scholarship, but we can give you $150,000 and you do what you want with it after you pay us back for room and board. Also the NCAA issued a statement that basically acknowledges changes can and should be made. It isn't fair to pick on Gene Smith, but it seems messed up that an AD can make $18,000 based off the performance of one athlete while that same athlete would lose his eligibility if he dared to profit off his success. As a private institution we might be in a tough spot, but the whole notion of "student athlete" is BS. It was done to avoid worker' comp. Brave of the NU athletes to shake up the system and fight the bull head on. And watching the NCAA quiver a bit is fun. They see their money train coming to an end and they see their hypocrisy coming to light. [/QUOTE]
