shoe or clothing company/ sports agents are just going to up their offer to ADD to the $10k. SO you still have the issue going on. Besides NOT all players are getting these sweet deals now only those with some potential NBA or NFL skills.

Another aspect of this is these kids were given money/perks before college. Tell me the agents will stop that since the player will get a small stipend IN school. How about the family? They benefited too. Nobody is going to want to give all that up.

No I think paying players IN school will not be the solution. Would it benefit the player who does not get the agents attention ... absolutely. Will the best players (and their families) still get some pre school cashola ... absolutely!!!

Anyways what better time for some of these details to come out as we face the closure of a frustrating, disappointing, sad BB season .....

Something interesting to keep our collective mind off of the reality of it all.
Multi-billionaire CEO's get busted for stealing all the time. I boggles the imagination that someone thinks that if we give these kids $10K in play money they will cease to be tempted by an additional $10K from a shoe company. Of course they will. Human nature.
