Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1760046, member: 285"] I believe it's a rule adopted to correct past abuses, like no show YMCA jobs. If you allow scholarship athletes to be paid how do you differentiate between what is a legitimate job at a legitimate rate of pay and what is essentially a no show job at an exorbitant rate along with every permutation in between. Should kids be able to work 10 hours a week at a going rate dipping ice cream at the ice cream parlor or reshelving books in the library, absolutely. Should they be allowed to be a cabana boy at the Dean's Club and receive thousands in tips from wealthy alumni, probably not. As for the musician? No one is trying to insure an even playing field among the nation's collegiate music departments. If someone wants to give her a job giving music lessons to children for 1000s of dollars an hour...so be it. [/QUOTE]
