Shockey's camp comments on the U scandal

[rippadonn]

Many college students work and go to school. If a student was to work at McDonalds for free just because their education would be free would that be fair?

Is it right to hate on a guy who got a Wall Street job while in college because you work at McDonalds or don't bring in anything at all? Is that fair?

:iagree: I say get rid of the NCAA and let the schools do everything they are already doing in the light. The NCAA is ineffective anyways, a joke.

The moralists can crow all they want but somebody always cries when somebody else is getting paid. These kids have families too, some even have kids of their own, they work hard, they should get paid too.

That is so true.. It's clear those school who know how to get over will do so, then slap themselves on the wrists and claim they'r calling themselves out. The other schools will get caught up in the dirty politics that is the NCAA.

The NCAA are trying to run multi-million dollar making institutions with rules from early 1900's.They need to get with the program.

Being a current college student I'm just a little bit bias on this issue. It pisses me off that I'm paying out the ass and going into debit that I won't pay off until I'm 30 while some people get free rides and all kinds of goodies just because they can throw a football.

Actually, it isn't even the scholarships that bother me. It's the fact that rich old faggy men pine over the college athletes and worships them with gifts while the other 98% of college students are broke, driving 20 year old Honda Civics, and living off of $5 pizza.

How many of these guys really give two poos about getting a degree? It's a farm system for the NFL that they're forced to participate in if they want to play. Let's make the next generation of actors and musicians chase a degree in communications for 2-4 years (that they'll never use), locking them out of any money they produce during that time, before they're allowed to actually perform their trade. That'd go over well.

With the HUGE amount of money being made and the fact that a lot of these guys come from low income situations, I'm not sure I can blame them for lacking the maturity to say no to a handout.

The NCAA is too big/rich for it to happen, but the ideal situation would be for the league to offer an alternate to the college path. Like a farm/minor-league.

yep, they do it at every big name program in the country.....

yet fans of teams not caught act appalled....

Cam is standing between shockey and the fan

Cane's fan

Cam bows his head and shakes back and forth.

[YoungPanthers89]

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

Hurricane's fan did not say a word. Full quote was from Shockey. It was all said in gest. The crowd laughed.

With all due respect, welcome to the real world.

It may not be fair, but that is how things work. You are not going to change human nature, so if you want to be a success, make yourself more valuable however you can, via education or whatever.

Don't fall into the trap of being hung up on what others are getting. It is a no win battle.
