A lot of people buy into the myth about college football players that can't afford to go see a movie. The reality of it is that college football players get thousands of dollars to spend any way they want each semester.
And yet.... they are nineteen and some would love a car instead of walking, riding the bus, or getting themselves injured on scooters.

Look, Im not taking up for LDR, he needs to STFU. But there are some kids in need. When I was there, there was a large group of law students on a special grant, they got $15k in living expenses. (I wasnt one of that group.). It was even more than the Pell Granters got.

We could do the same for the athletes. They couldnt buy Escalades but maybe they could get an old Corolla.

I have little sympathy for the kids. Most wouldn't even be admitted to UF. I don't care if they have a car. Sounds like they make enough that they can save for a year and buy a beater car. But where would they go? They need to be in class, with tutors, in the weight room, in the film room or on the field. They need to focus on either catching up with their peers or working to get to the next level. If they want to party go do something else.

Here's a (soon to be very unpopular) theory. Ole LDR seems pretty confident and full of himself here lately. The type of confidence and bravado that perhaps comes with the knowledge that he's still the starting qb for his team?

Annnnnnnnnd GO!!!

Anybody who uses twitter should be shot to death in the street like an animal. Anybody.

So a college athlete advocates for college athletes to get paid, and that's a rant? He's only about the 18 millionth college athlete to say that very thing. You guys sure do get angry easily.
