I find it hard to believe that any star athlete on a scholarship at a state university goes to bed hungry unless he has the munchies after smoking too much dope.

I'm late to the thread, but awesome post!

Free tuition, books, fees, tutors and food. He’s full of bull.

On the other side, the college is making a ton of money on his sport. If he joins a union, will he have to pay taxes on the tuition and other items?

Think athletes are the only ones getting hungry late night? Let's see, it was about a 3 hour breakfast window, a 4 hour lunch window, a 3 hours dinner window and a 2 hour midnight snack window. Only time that was short was no cafeteria for Sunday dinner and midnight snack. Almost forgot, the student union restaurant was about 1/3 the cost of an off campus hamburger plus had beer. What a whiner and privileged primadonna plus the athletes have their own private cafeteria separate from the common students.

I don’t believe this whiner.

I know every school is probably different, but when I was at Indiana (late 80's), I knew 2 of the players on the football team (not friends, just knew them pretty well). Trust me, those guys didn't go without food. Hell, these guys couldn't go 2 hours without eating. They would bring back sacks of fresh burritos and hamburgers from their food hall and the dorks like me who were on a 10 meal per week plan sometimes got to share in the bounty if we happened to be over there hanging out.

I don't know about all the other perks, I never asked... but I can tell you one thing for damn sure, they ate VERY well

He goes to bed hungry because he’s so out of touch with real life he doesn’t know he can gorge himself on Ramen noodles for less than 50¢.

I call BS on this, these players see only one thing about the Union money; $$$$$! They will make a case that they need money for living expense. what they really want is money! Even if the NCAA allows the schools to give them money, it will never be enough!

For all the Wildcats:

Shabazz, just be careful!

Don’t go out on a rainy night to get some skittles and drank, just because you’re hungary.
