CNS supports athletes' right to a voice, points to benefits in scholarships

[Jamos]

"I've always been an advocate of players' rights. I've always been an advocate of players being compensated the best that we can to help them," Saban said. "Whatever the NCAA rule is and whatever they decide to do, I've always been an advocate of the player and the quality of life that a player has. I think that having a voice in what happens, I think, is something that the players probably ought to have."

Who else here thinks if they got stipends, that they would just blow it on weed? 






















Just kidding.

Just kidding.

They get cost-of-living stipends now.
And they blow it on weed!

How about all of the body art?

I really think if they do this what about smaller schools who can not afford it? I know we can afford anything pretty much because {"We Are Alabama." Does the scholarship not offer enough? I am confused to say the least. Would someone explain and help see this for what it is? RTR!

I guess some could call that "art".

Greed.  In my mind, it's just greed.  Student athletes get a full scholarship, books, room, food, etc.  They also get free tickets for their families, and get an allowance for spending on clothes washing, dates, etc.

They want "their share of the profits".  I can see it when their names are used by private companies for advertising video games (that's just wrong), but not when they ask for cash from the school.

If this is approved, they'll have to pay the IRS too, lose their free parking, treatments on campus, and other preferential treatment.  They'll be employees, not students.
