Gimme a break. The average college football scholarship pays close to $50,000 per year (including summer school) in room, board, tuition, books, fees, and tutors.
You are spot on. I went to a top ten college and because of my good grades, I got a job as a "tutor." I was under very heavy pressure to make sure that my football playing student passed his classes (i.e., write his papers for him).
It is quite the pampered lifestyle these guys live. Girls, grades...they have everything they want, as long as they can perform on the field.
