[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College athletes are paid; scholarships allow them to take on little to no debt for a degree. Sure some never finish, but that is no different than the thousands of other college dropouts. If you have a full-ride you can still take out a student loan for living expenses which includes food.

[b]As for the NOT being able to eat at a team mates home, that is garbage. [/b]We all know the rule is only there to prevent people from throwing parties for the athletes or bringing them to lavish restaurants as a reward for winning or agents buttering them up. [/quote]This rule is the NCAA's.  You and I don't get to make the rules no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

[i]Meals in the home of a student-athlete’s parent must be preapproved and documented through the athletic 
department.[/i][/quote]

Doesn't matter if it is a rule, what matters is how strictly is it enforced. I highly doubt schools document the dozens to hundreds of scholar athletes eating habits. The media as usually digs for the most sensationalist stories and makes it out to be the norm. As for the recent quote from UCONN it is clearly an attempt to bolster more support for unionizing and eventually paying salaries to student athletes. [/quote]
