my kids still paying on their college loans, and being good citizens and tax payers as well......nobody gave them a thing.....

Paterno (til his death) railed against Freshman eligibility. Make a kid show he can make it the classroom first. UK basketball players really don’t ever have to attend a class. By the time they fail out, they’re in the NBA.

90 percent of that athlete money comes back to the company store. Or to the community through the PD or the banks, or the bars or the car dealers.

Better to raise your kids the way you are doing now. The tortoise wins this race, hands down.
