These players sacrifice quite a bit more than you evidently perceive. 99% of these "popular athletes" will be working stiffs, just like you and me, when they run out of eligibility, yet they work incredibly hard earning millions of dollars for the University. This football program brings in far more dollars than is paid out in scholarships and funds other non-athletic scholarships and programs. That's done on the backs of these "popular athletes". They earn their pay and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
