To Pay or Not to Pay....

Everytime a major College Football program gets in trouble, the topic of paying college athletes comes up...For a number of years I was in favor of giving players a stipend...Yes, these athletes get full scholarships to these universities, but I always bought into the theory, of they still need spending money...And why shouldn't they get a tatse...They are making their Universities, and the NCAA boat loads of money every year...

But my opinion may have switched...Yes, they are making the NCAA and their Universities tons of money, but that free room and board, books, and free education, is pretty fucking expensive these days...

And then we start getting the articles, and tv shows, and radio hosts, who say these kids take the money, because of a socieconomic difference...This is brought up mainly because such a large number the players caught are black...Well, that's a weak, bullshit excuse...Because, as you can see from the Ohio State scandal, and now the Miami scandal, these players didn't take teh money to buy pizza, or take their girl friend out on a date...No, instead they make deals for cars...Tattoos...Strippers...Partying...Hookers...Hookers' abortions..."Bling"...Fancy clothes, and other unnecessary bullshit...

Included in the names dropped in teh Miami scandal, was Kellen Winslow Jr...Don't try that socieconomic shit there...Dude was a rich kid, who's daddy made plenty of cash in the NFL, and was smart with his money...Jr. wasn't some kid who had it tough, growing up in the hood...He was just a rich punk, who wanted more...

Stop trying to play the race game, or the poor kid game...This game is all about Greed...The NCAA is greedy, making money on the backs of teh schools...The schools are greedy, making money on teh backs of the players...The players see that, and they're greedy, and they want theirs...And they willingfully, take illegal gifts and money, from greedy doners who want to feel a part of something bigger...Trickle-down economics is still alive and kicking...

And as much as we want to see the NCAA be tough on these programs, and make major changes to fix things, they won't...There is too much money to be made off of these players and programs!

Later, The Beeze.
