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 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 Sep 13, 06:31

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

And compared to what they bring in to their respective universities, they are working cheap. Bubba_Fett 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 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 Sep 13, 12:08

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

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

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

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

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

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