Reading that article makes me depressed.

Not only does my team suck, but now I know that a bunch of barely literate kids get a bunch of cash payments AND a free education while I'm saddled with a decades worth of debt.

Just a guess that if you were 5'11" 250 lbs and ran a 4.55 forty you'd have skirted through that public school too.

sounds like sour grapes to me. im glad i had to earn it. do wish i had the millions, glad i dont have the CTE.

That's really your best response? That sorry ass reach? Using your own previously stated logic, why are kids like Josh Dobbs not slacking in the classroom when they have such measurables?

I mean given how necessary they are for a decent career in most fields, college should be affordable for the average American. The fact that you have to mortgage your future is the only reason anyone is ever upset that an 18 year old is getting money to put his body on the line for a particular school.

Yeah but it's not like just anyone can do it. No different than a student that gets a full ride academic scholarship.

And those students get recruited too.

It is different, but when it comes to being the best at something, there's a market for those resources, that benefits both the resource (student) and the benefactor (University), just in different ways.

Tennessee ****ing sucks at cheating. If you are going to pay him, pay him. Stop getting punked by Auburn every single year.

I understand the market aspect of it, but that doesn't mean that the average (and VAST majority of) students should start their life 40-100k in the hole, if not more. Athletes get a plethora of benefits outside of their scholarship and I'm sure you could find ways to equally reward students of similar academic caliber. I got my education paid for by UT, I was one of the students that was recruited to UT, I was going to Clemson or FSU otherwise, but there are definitely other ways to reward those that have put in more work and bring in more value to the university without actively driving all the other students into massive debt at the beginning of their lives.
