You are a dope. You clearly haven't spent a minute with student-athletes, let along years of living with them, going to classes with them, being friends with them, and seeing how they lived, as I did. Even the "regular" students at Miami have a budget that includes living expenses. I got...

You're talking hoops, right? It's a tough comparison, basketball to football, on so many levels. But the principle remains. The world is changing. A lot of people with a lot of opinions are going to have to deal with that change, which will often be unsettling and unpleasant. I don't have...

Let's just be clear about something very important. Yes, student-athletes get a lot of in-kind benefits. Tuition, housing, meals, books, medical coverage (completely valid in this situation). However, I got those same things at UM, via scholarships and financial aid. The difference was, I...
