Sorry, I can't support this. The $100,000+ that they get in free education is more than enough. The problem is, most of the players who are pushing for this have NO DESIRE to get an education...so they don't feel like they're really getting anything. They are there to GET TO THE PRO's....so why do they care if they are getting a free education?? My daugher is a freshman at a major D1 university here in OH-IO. She was number 1 in her HS class with a 4.0 since the day she started 1st grade... got a 32 on her ACT and that earned her a whopping $5,000/year in academic scholarship money. You have football players who were lucky to finish HS, don't go to class, leave after 2 or 3 years and never graduate who get a full ride and yet think they deserve more?? Sorry, but I'll never agree with them.
