If you are following the OK-State football story; my family name is about to be pulled through the mud. I just heard and   damenchipguy on Sep 12, 20:12

We can never blame the players. The NCAA has these crazy rules. The players are unpaid. Why not take what you can?   mrbinns on Sep 13, 06:31

The players are paid with a full scholarship with room and board. {nm}   Antibody on Sep 13, 10:23

And compared to what they bring in to their respective universities, they are working cheap.   Bubba_Fett on Sep 13, 10:43

At $50,000 a year for non-resident, that's $200,000 value for 4 years. A great deal for the 99% that won't play pro-ball. {nm}   Antibody on Sep 13, 11:30

How much is that worth for someone who is functionally illiterarte but can play sports real well, does not go to classes, does not    mrbinns on Sep 13, 12:08

But that is their own fault for not taking advantage of the opportunities GIVEN to them. {nm}   BSmurf on Sep 13, 12:30

Hard to take advantage of a college education when you can't read above a sixth grade level. {nm}   DTravel on Sep 13, 13:06

The devil is in the details   PRodQuanta on Sep 13, 10:02

I haven't followed this story but based on comments made here, my thoughts are inside   DTravel on Sep 13, 10:24

Allowing Olympic athletes to pocket some cash hasn't destroyed the integrity of the competition.   Bubba_Fett on Sep 13, 10:27

I know that college ball effectively is a NFL minor league - that's what I think the problem is.   DTravel on Sep 13, 11:09

I don't believe Olympic athletes that are still in school/scholarship can take cash either. {nm}   Antibody on Sep 13, 11:34

Give the players a stipend and a lot of this crap would go away.    Bubba_Fett on Sep 13, 10:12

With the Cowboys this was bound to happen Sooner or later. {nm}   RotoHockeyYTD2013 on Sep 13, 13:46

We will handle the Sooners, later! {nm}   damenchipguy on Sep 13, 15:08
