pay ALL the college athletes

so there's this big scandal going on about some dude who gave a lot of football athletes at miami university (or as the d-bags call it, 'THE U') money, cars, and other crazy stuff (i even heard 'paid for an abortion' on one news channel). he apparently has been doing this for years, decades even... i heard one report that said there's a list with 70 something names on it...

i'm not gonna sit here and disapprove of college athletes taking free stuff. the NCAA has something to say about it, and that's their rules, not mine. i can't really blame athletes who are awesome at what they do for taking free stuff. that's just the american way right there.

i think paying college athletes would be a good start to try and put a fix to this problem. most of these athletes don't have any spending money. they spend too much time at practice and are unable to get jobs. i think they should get some sort of allowance.

and i'm talking all college athletes here. not just the football players cuz that's who america loves the most. i'm talking about the field hockey players and the track and fielders. give them all a little something to live on. it doesn't have to be multimillion dollar contracts, but something that puts a little change in their pocket.

it's not like colleges are starving for cash. i'm sure they'd like us all to believe they are but when you charge students $100's at the bookstore alone, it's hard to take you serious when you cry poor. i'm sure they could fit that in to their budgets. if not, i'm sure your alumni would be more than happy to do their part and donate some extra cash (i'm looking at you professional athletes who go on espn and cnn and agree with what i'm saying here).

every college student should have the ability to go to the movies every so often or buy a six pack and a pizza. help these kids out! i know this won't eliminate the problem completely. there will still be people out there who want to give the most talented of athletes money and other stuff that is packed full of ulterior motives. but at least give your students a fighting chance to turn it down.
