This is the problem right there. What's the alternative?
I think--honestly--the best answer is to fix the NCAA system.
- If you're going to give scholarships, give 'em the whole cost of their eduction, including housing, meals, etc etc etc. You should never hear someone like Shabazz complain about not getting enough to eat.
- Make sure they get the medical care they need.
- Be reasonable about the rules. Serving cream cheese with bagels should not be a secondary violation. Let them take more classes over the summer, instead of limiting it.
- Make sure the student's you're admitting have a fighting chance of doing college-level work.
- Be reasonable about agent rules. NCAA hockey players can have agents, I'm sorry, "family advisors", to help them make career-related decisions. Why can't basketball or football athletes?
I could go on, and so could most people...
