Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things anymore but should these athletes then be getting a free ride? My perception, be it right or wrong, is that by and large the notion of a "student-athlete" in Men's BB or FB was largely a bad joke anyway - there are exceptions that you never hear about, I get it.If as a good number of pundits are calling the paying of college athletes as employees, as "recognizing the reality" of the situation, then, are we going to "recognize the reality" that a good portion of the very guys looking for a payday, really aren't and never have been "students" anyway? Will those wasted scholarships then be granted to bonafide academics?</blockquote>
