Message: [QUOTE="maxxyz, post: 1760594, member: 350"] Impoverished athletes get PELL grants of up to $7000 a year. On top of the scholarship. And I'll take the free meal plan the athletes get instead of the $75. And they can get food at anytime of day. Remember when Scoop got in trouble because his uncle was living with him on campus? Scoop had enough of a meal plan to feed them both. The "I'm going hungry " accusation is crud. Let the kids go directly to the NBA. Let them go pro. Let the schools have professional teams with no scholarships. I'm not arguing that that the schools aren't generating millions. But even the idea of letting them have endorsement contracts is shaky. The endorsement value of a player comes in part from the team they are on. Why don't they prep at IMG and get an endorsement contract until they can enter the draft? Because until they join a team they have no value. [/QUOTE]
