Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2530575, member: 7597"] They already are paid with free UNI that, in some cases cost 25,000 or more per year (an exorbitant sum of money), room and board (in some cases special chefs for the athletes), free transit to away games as well as lodging, free exposure on national TV, access to trainers and state of the art training facilities/weight rooms, etc. All while the average American struggles a great deal to pay for UNI, often times going into a lot of debt while their athletic counterparts, in some cases grossly underachieve (coughUconnmencough) without having to pay a dime while @ UNI. Or post grads who don't even earn what these kids get in athletic scholarships per year. How about all of the student non-athletes that also contribute to the schools reputation and academic standings? It is amazing how out of whack and askew priorities are at most UNIs in the states and why other countries continue to surpass the US in academic standings. [/QUOTE]
