I am not. I'm telling you a college scholarship doesn't mean a kid won't struggle financially at school while his or her family struggles financially at home.

The intent is for the recipient to use however he or she needs to use it.  That's why there are no restrictions on it.

It is not when you consider the Pell grants, and this conversation, become virtually obsolete if the players are allowed to earn their own money.

Sure, if we suspend reality and live in this fantasyland where scholarship athletes are completely removed from the struggles of the family that helped get them there, then yes, theoretically they should have everything they need.

But unfortunately for you and your simple point.  Reality matters.

We're talking about Pell Grants, not scholarships.

No. I think your reading comprehension is trash.

I think the NCAA should allow the players to earn their own money, and they can pay their parent's rent and electric bill.  That frees up more Pell grant money for kids who aren't also on a full athletic scholarship.
