The NCAA is nothing short of a pimp on these kids.
The way Sallie Mae owns my soul now, I gladly would take a free education plus room & board for 4-5 years over getting loans and "having the opportunity" to work at Wal-Mart or Burger King. Plus, playing football GREATLY increases your chances of getting some poontang. The Southern Miss athletic department paid for my room & board to basically be the athletic dorm's live in babysitter.........I mean, athletic trainer. They knew I kept a HUGE stash of protection just for them (and a handful for myself and believe me, they ran through 'em.
