I don't fault the players one bit for trying to get what they can get. The owners are making hundreds of millions....so why not get all you can get. The same for the University's. College athletes on a full scholarship are allowed to make I think $2500 a year at a job. How is that enough to pay for gas for a vehicle, dates, regular out to eat days, etc.......all while a Univeristy rakes in millions off their hard work. Yes the kids get a free education, but that doesnt' allow them to live outside of their school life.

I know if I could hit .300 a year for 9 straight season in the Major Leagues, I'd be asking to get paid too. We all would. If you are the best at what you do, you should get paid.....doesn't matter if its a police officer, a teacher, a computer nerd who built Apple from the ground up, or a baseball player. I can't hate a guy for trying to get all he can get.
