re: #9 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

There have been some steps made in that direction but they are long overdue.

I am for something akin to a GI Bill: the athletes sign on to play for room and board for four years with the option of either studying parallel to their careers or returning later on to complete their degrees.

I expect that there would be resistance to this from a number of universities since this essentially levels the recruitment playing field in that it defangs to an extent the “extras” their boosters supply on the sly. Would be nice if the NCAA embraces such an approach.
