this is ****ing gay as hell, idiots should understand that selling advertising is a great idea for colleges. Who cares whats on the side of scoreboards and shit?

The NCAA should pay these kids some extra loot aside from a free ride.

General a "free ride" is worth over $100k if you come from out of state

NCAA and most schools are corrupt.

I dated a girl in college who ran track, and she got more free shoes, clothes, and random shi1t. It was great because she was able to get shoes for me too. This is womens track which brought no money into the University, I can only imagine what the top football and basketball schools are giving their players.

Its a tug of war between the almighty dollar and maintaining NCAA athletics as amateur sports.

They just dont get tuition. They housing and food allowances if they live off campus.

We could pump some money back into the economy by letting these kids buy their own tattoos, jewelry, clothes and cars instead of hiding what happens anyhow.

The NCAA is like the Army, "dont ask, dont tell."

The only way corruption and scandal come out is when a program is ratted out by their competition.
