Calling BS. They're not required to take classes, they choose to for reasons I listed above. Lifting is something lots of people do that have fulltime jobs and families and they pay for gym access and exercise guidance that is included in an athletic scholarship. I busted my butt 60-80 hrs/wk all summer every summer and weekends in a factory so I could pay for in state tuition, transportation, etc. without having to take out loans.Not the point. They can't work during the year, and with summer classes, weight room and unofficial practices, there is often not time to hold a regular summer job.
I'll never be convinced that an athlete recieving private school tuition, room/board, and a stipend is getting a raw deal. If it's so horrible, go my route. If god had blessed me with a 6'10" frame without sacrificing the althleticism I had at 5'10", I'd have gladly traded my route for theirs.
