Message: [QUOTE="NYCSUGrad, post: 2159919, member: 971"] It's not even necessary to pay the players as others have pointed out but not to exploit them. If you are middle class or better on scholarship your parents can supply you with an allowance. If you are genuinely poor, and you slip through the cracks like the UConn player who described being really hungry at times, why SHOULD THAT BE? There was a thread here which described how SU basketball players had unlimited bagels at their training center and/or dorms but no cream cheese for them. Jelly maybe. Something ludicrous. And that jerseys and other items are sold that the players get no $ from again constitutes theft. The schools get around it by leaving the player's name off now. But every fan knows which players wear each number and they buy their current or all time favorites. And don't try to EARN $ during the season like the SU player who kept score at the Y did! [/QUOTE]
