Exactly, Fezmid.
I worked my ass off in college, carrying a full time gigs worth of working time, plus a full courseload, and Im STILL paying off my tuition and Im close to 40. And I didnt even go away to school.
The athelete full ride types, which is who we are talking about, get EVERYTHING for free, leave school without a DIME in loans, and while IN school, get treated like the President. President CLINTON, that is...with all the female ass in tow. No....I dont begrudge them...they were blessed with the physical size and skills to get those free rides. But regardless.... they get A TON more than most. At worst, they get a free education and room and board at an elite university. At best, they get the free ride AND a draft slot with a pro sports league. So spare me the "oh the poor college athlete" routine. They get plenty.
