[quote=Anonymous]Maybe if UConn paid attention to the right rules instead of meal plan rules they would not have been ineligible last year   :-)

I worked for a major college football team for a number of years.  Yes these guys are going to school on scholarships but so are peopel in the band, and for academics and other things.  they are not drug tested, athletes are, they can hold jobs and due to practice and travel requirments athleetes can't.  If they do have a job poeple suggest it is a cake job by a booster.  yes that happens and happens at every school.

Look at how much the athletes bring into a school, at Texas football revenue was $103 million.  Expenses were $25 million which includes scholarships, stadium payments, practice facilities etc.

If you look at it this way, 100 players on a team, each player makes the school $1 million what does it cost the school to have them there?

I can;t wiat until the NCAA crumbles.  Students who are on scholarships, academic, athelteic, band, theatre, etc should all be paid.  [/quote]
