Opponents say such a system would exacerbate inequities that already exist among college athletics programs and create a financial burden for schools.

99% have full scholarships, that is enough!! It is such a shame that so much is given to athletics.

Many people with scholarships have part time jobs. Are you saying that athletes don't deserve an alternate income source? That seems rather biased to me.

Too many businesses are finding it difficult to hire employees. Allowing more illegals into the country to fill the employee gap is NOT the answer..

Liberals want people to be dependent on government handouts. Easier to buy votes that way so Liberals can stay in power and line their pockets with corruption. 10% for the Big Guy don't you know.
