I feel as if they should not get paid due to them coming out of college with no debt. 80% of other college kids would take that in a heartbeat. I also feel as if they are getting an opportunity to jump to the Top 1% of all income earners by playing football and these schools giving them the platform to do so. Any of y'all graduate school and have a $5,000,000 a year job waiting on you and begging you to come to work for them?
And don't feel sorry for these guys, they're taken care of if you know what I mean. Don't be naive to think these guys are dead broke and can't do anything outside of school in football, because you'd be lying to yourself if you think that. The funny thing is, a vast majority of college kids that are paying for their own school are broke as a joke, so why should anyone feel bad for the guys getting to go for free? Raman noodles, beenie weenies, cheap ass beer, it's the truth, not some fake story that's made it's way around from campus to campus over time. It's a struggle for everyone. Use the opportunity to get educated. If you waste your time focusing solely on sports, you deserve anything that comes your way if sports doesn't work out. The opportunity is there, so take advantage and make the right decision. If your family has been broke ever since you were little, what's another six to eight months in the scheme of things?
