The athletes do have a good deal, but it's limited.

The schools shouldn't be expected to give more, but at the same time, the athletes shouldn't be prohibited from getting more money as long as they're academically eligible. Everyone else involved with college sports has seen the benefit increase substantially except for the athletes. They get a schollie, but God forbid they make anything outside of that.

Would it be better for the image of colleges and universities -- VTHokie2000 01/12/2016 4:06PM

I don't think so. I think the 'image' of sports contributing $10 million -- Late 80s Hokie 01/12/2016 4:34PM

Imagine that, students not having to pay fees -- Maroon Doom 01/12/2016 5:55PM
