I have little patience with the plan of
paying college athletes for their athletic competition. The
earnings of football go to no private individual or profit
sharing corporation. Rather they go to the state or to an
educational foundation which reinvests them in the youth of our
nation, It costs the state an average of $240.00 per year per
student, oxelustvs of fees paid in, to educate their youth. If
the athlete should demand a cut of the earnings, then the full
amount of the cost of his education should be deducted from his
stipend.

Personally, I believe the question of |
eligibility should solely be one of academic credits with no
promise of remuneration to any student. It is thinkable to
me that it might be possible to have athletic scholarships as
well as any other special scholarships which are offered by
alumni and other beneficiaries. Coaching and Physical Education
are professions, and the sooner we have a newer and a better
understanding on these moot points, the better off all of us
will be. |
