paying ncaa athletes

where has our perspective gone? why are we being to ideological? when tyrelle pryor sold his jersey, do you really think he used that cash to buy books and pens?  did he really just need some lunch money? if he really needed lunch money, he should sold the free ipad he was given for playing in a bowl game or any of the other free stuff he was given.

the ncaa is approaching this the wrong way and they need to stop.  are athletes really going to stop cutting deals because their schools now pay for their supplies? NO! if they can make some extra cash, they will continue to make some extra cash. "o, they are too busy to get a part time job like other students"  are you kidding me? i guarantee the total monetary value of the freee shit they get and the national TV coverage is FAR more than the money i will make at ets or whereever.  they already get paid and commpensated handsomely.  their books are paid for, mine aren't; so thats already a leg up they have on me.

i have seen far poorer students make it through college using aid and scholarships despite being below the poverty line.  if an athlete comes from a family below the poverty line or se to it, fine, g ve them extra cash but that should also go for ALL college students and not just the athletes.  this is getting rediculous and we need to stop it now before it gets any worse. does any one know any ways to get in contact with the big10 or the ncaa? i have a few questions.  what about the rest of us college students struggling to make it through school.  athletes arent some special exception that deserve the most freebies and passes
