ncaa has some rules about that so coach will have to sneak in the food.. watch the documentary I posted
the issue i have witht hese things is that can spin the story whichever way they want.
i dotn see how paying athletes will actually address any of the issue unless its all about sharing the pie?
will a star get paid more that the guy who dresses and has never seen a minute on the field? willthe star be eating steak odn that gyuy be the one who is talking about being hungry?
schools like Penn State have been know to dress 100 players of a game.

aye sah. i'm suprised they don't feed them after practice though.
anyway, not to miss the bigger point that him making....how would unionization help student athletes....i haven't read the articles....so are they proposing that the athletes get paid and be considered employees of the university?
dem practicing 40 hrs a week with a 15 credit academic load; when dem fi study?

ok, that summary didn't really give me any enough detail.
But you raise an interesting point about the demands placed upon the athletes (40 hour training weeks). Also (as mentioned in the summary by the learning specialist), some of them don't have the necessary skills to do well in university, having been passed along from elem to MS to HS...so even if they did have the time to study, they would still be struggling academically.

the 40 hours train is a bit of an overstatement t ..NCAA have rules around how much time athlete can spend on training. they limit it to 4 hours per day (and that includes team meetings ) and max 20 hours per week
