<p>One of my football coaches and I talked about this and we both think it’s ridiculous. It should be an honor to get to play at a collegiate level, there are a lot of guys who would kill just to play on a practice squad and get nothing (I’m one of them). They are already receiving $100,000+ education for free. I do think that they should be able to sell their rings and such, though. I don’t think it’s right but when the average college student needs cash, they sell what’s on hand that they don’t need (xbox, TV, whatever) so why can’t athletes?</p>
