This makes me so proud of our college athletic programs. If they show a rebroadcast of this; see it. It will raise your blood pressure...

Designing a welfare state so that the neediest don't get crowded out by the greediest is tricky.

I'm curious as to the material condition of these Section 8 apartments. I will definitely catch rebroadcast of this if I can.

"The Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees federal housing, says scholarship athletes who get housing stipends can still qualify, in some cases, for low rent or no rent apartments."

Then the rules of the Department of Housing and Urban Development opbviously need changed.

The investigation found some of the most successful programs in college athletics have players living in subsidized housing, including Virginia Tech, which has 19 players living in Cambridge Square apartments, a federally-subsidized Section 8 complex in Blacksburg paid for by the government to house needy people.

Puttin' the "Ho" in "Hokies".

My son was a HS quarterback that got recruited some a few years ago. One of the dirty little secrets we learned was that athletes likely to be of lesser economic means had an advantage in getting athletic scholarships. The grant money they get for these students reduces the amount of money required out of the scholarship fund.
