Meal money can run out. 7 days a week doesn’t mean 24 hours a day. This isn’t a new story, it happens. And nobody can offer a good reason why they couldn’t get the EXACT SAME stipend academic scholarships get, except that the NCAA won’t allow it.
They get meal money on the road and it is enough to keep them fed well.
Slippery slope here. Once unionized, there is no end to the amount of money they would want from the universities.
If NW unionizes, it would not surprise me to see the university shut down the sports programs. The university doesn’t need the money.
