Horsefeathers. They are getting a free-ride academically. I sure would have loved for my kids to get a free ride, would have saved me about a hundred thousand dollars in tuition.

I rather suspect that the stars in the Big Time Programs are being compensated, both under the table and with cushy summer jobs.
At an unnamed basketball power many years ago, a star basketball center had a summer job which required him to sit in an air-conditioned room at a Bluegrass horse farm and make sure that no one stole the television set in the room. It was a rough summer for him.
