Why? Because I carried a full class load and never missed a class, practice, or game? When my friends were all out partying I was home because I had Saturday games.

I'd get home at midnight after a 5 hour bus ride and had a test at 9am.

Oh, wait, I got $8 meal money on game days so I could get a Eggs Over My Hammy plate at Denny's. That and girls were the major benefits. So sue me.

99% of the college athletes play by the rules and are better people for it. I wouldn't trade one day of it. Should a football player at a major school get more than I did? Absolutely.

In your first post you implied that you reaped benefits from your tenure in college athletics. Then in your second post you denigrate what you recieved and and the personnel sacrifice that you had to expend to get what you got. I am confused. Exactly what is your position.
