Accepting money to play

Cam Newton and his dad are being accused (without any evidence) of accepting money from Auburn University or boosters to go there. I think this is 100% OK, either way! It is kind of like if you pay for a great coach like Nick Saban or Bear Bryant on a football team, or a great teacher like Richard Feynman at a school like Harvard or CalTech.

Let’s see, the universities get paid, the coaches get paid, the NCAA gets paid, the commentators get paid, the networks get paid, and even the parking attendants at football games get paid. But, not the players? What kind of candy land world has everybody get money, but the players? I know the players get an education. But, do they? Their scholarships are year by year. They can be kicked out, forced out, or be in other ways made to give up their scholarships. I bet the NCAA reps don’t give their salary back for any reason. But, the players get funny money in the form of tuition and registration fees and everybody else gets real money. Sounds like a situation those getting real money like, even if the real players often get stuck in the molasses swamp.
