I am absolutely appalled to see that the Big 10 is seriously considering paying its student-athletes! What about the rest of us regular students? Why aren't my living expenses being paid for? What makes them so special? I believe it is completely unfair. They are STUDENT-athletes; I saved up for years to go to college, and I have seen people from the poorest of situations use smart saving and financial aid to make it through college. There are kids out there that are in more desperate need for money for college than these egotistical athletes. Why do they have the right while the rest of us have to pay for college ourselves? I know they bring in revenue for the universities, but if they want to go to college, then they should plan for college. They already get handsomely compensated for their playing; like the free Nike clothing and iPads the SU football players got.
