As a minority who went through school on a athletic scholarship i take great offense to all the crying for money, white coaches etc.. These scholarships now are worth nearly half a million dollars. My opportunity gave me everything i have both in experiences, relationships and security. At this point if that chance is not enough then lets go with academic rigor for merit based scholarships. Lets go with true student athletes. That way each individual that wants to get paid for playing can test himself and his chances elsewhere. Like anyone else they have to take on the risk. Even with all the money in college sports most athletic departments are losing money. Administrations are not going to go for pay, against title 9. Spencer should know better than to use the slave word in this instance. Slaves did not get rides to universities, room, board, tuition. cash stipend, training table, nutritionist, travel, apparel. When they start paying them is when i stop supporting 4 programs financially and i will not be the only one. Many athletes are getting into school over students that are far more qualified. As for coaches being white in huge numbers, they are simply more qualified. The minorities that finish school, get a advanced degree and pay dues at small schools get their chance.
