Why do people feel that student athletes should be "compensated"... They are getting a free ride to some of the best schools in America as well as getting treated like kings! Stay in the best hotels,take chartered flights, as well as get meals paid for with housing. How is that not enough?


I think his point is that the money is there and these "kids" are being used to make it.

Being used by who their parents?? If so that is breaking the rules. I would know if my dad just up and received 200k and I think cam would have been able to tell too

The majority of atheletic departments dont break even. The money is not there. There may be boosters with money, but the schools cant afford to pay these kids. Also if you fail to see that a college degree from a respected university+room+meals isnt a good deal then Im wasting my time. These atheletes whether they know it or not are being set up for life more then they ever could be if they were pros out of high school. A good degree will put food on the table more than one pro contract out of high school and then blowing out a knee ever could have.

And to the OP about the money going to a church....I doubt that God would want his church paid through cheating lies and deceit...maybe its just me. I understand the position cams father must have been in where it looked like there was no way out, but as a pastor and he truly believes what hes teaching, he should have shown a little faith IF THIS IS TRUE that God would provide through legitimate means instead of taking the easy way out.
