Coaches the "team". One voice.. You get it..
Training table.Another opinion from a college football player.
These athletes are on a complete meal plan. Someone who knows better than I do, how could they have "hungry nights"?? I'm trying to quantify what even one meal might cost. A loaf of bread and some peanut butter and a bunch of bananas. That could last you four meals and that's what? Five dollars?
Coach: "Hello, Johnny Recruit. Did you know these other schools' players have Hungry Nights? Have you heard of that? They don't have any FOOD! Well, don't you worry: at K-State we'll make sure you have food to eat."
Training table closes at 6:30pm and studay hall starts at 7pm... This is all after athletes spent the rest of the day at practice, lifting, flim and oh yeah class. Ofcourse they deserve to get paid. The child of a faculty member gets to go to school for free. That person is not bringing in one dime!!! The only reason KSU can afford to pay its coaches is because we pay to see the players play.
I worked at Derby Dining Center in college. I saw the platters the football players were eating from compared to the usual plates the rest of the students used. Everyone has time constraints, surely the AD is allowing athletes time to eat. I'm not arguing that players don't deserve to get paid. Also, children of faculty members is a job benefit for the faculty member. I could make the same argument about Tate getting an athletic scholarship.
Good points.. Lets try it this way. Who do you think finacially benefited the most Collin Klein or KSU athletics? Im sure he would trade his schoolie and Derby meals for a fair share of that BCS money. Every adult involved are gettin paid handsomely while he visits the training room. Half those injuries have not even caught up to him yet.
Have you ever benefited more financially than your employer at any job you have ever worked?
