        yet the Coach and school make MILLIONS off these college athletes! How is that fair? Most school dont give their players full scholarships either. They are taking advantage of these kids and reaping all the money.

        The university set up a sham degree program for student-athletes, and no one was suspended. Don’t sell shoes tho

        Why do we care? Are the players renting the equipment or is it given to them as part of their participation? This makes less and less sense to me. But, maybe I’m not smart enough.

        The young adults are given a free college education, they are given a uniform and associated articles which belong to the college but they use. If the rules prohibit selling them then they should serve suspensions. No one is forcing them to play

        They sold some shoes😂😂😂and we’re supposed to care. Every time someone brings up morality I always bring up the fact that Trump is our president and 50% of Americans voted for him.

        Really too bad because trying to be a “jock bad ass” in college is a little different than when you are in high school-throwing away the benefits you earned with your scholarship getting into college total waste!!!
