The woman who had to beg for money at the church was I think Dwyane Wade's mother, or Tyrus Thomas's mother.

black people are the best at sports

[Thedarksecret1]

@ugimay Duh!

This guy is an idiot. If you can make money in College, then whats the point in the NBA?? You do your time, then if your good enough, you make it to the NBA. Thats that!!

[MrCartoon428]

the colleges make serious money of these kids and they dont pay anything (except for the kids on scholarship)... and even so, the kids are brought in to be set up to fail in schools that are much more intense academically... yet the coaches tell recruits they will take care of their athletes academics when they get there, but they can care less

[rasun1976]

look a here, these athletes should know whats up. Do ur time in school and get that degree. But most of r more concern with reserving their spot on the team than to concentrate on school cause every year that same school they attend recruiting top 150 players in the nation to compete for starting roles

[JMARKISS00]

The bottom line is that there is too much of an emphasis on Atheletics in Colleges and Universities. I understand that some students would not be able to afford the colleges and universities they attend without atheletic scholarships, but the REWARD FOR PLAYING SPORTS AT A PRESTEGIOUS UNIVERISTY IS NOT AN NBA CONTRACT OR NFL CONTRACT. THE REWARD IS THE DEGREE FROM A SCHOOL WHICH MANY OF THEM COULD NEVER AFFORD!

[barlover636]

@JMARKISS00 yeh but what u don't seem to grab is that most of these schools emphasize the sport not education why do you think they give these students scholarships in the 1st place? you try getting an engineering degree while being a star athlete its next too impossible because to be at the top of your game is a job in itself, so give me a break.

[mqf0489]

The real issue should be if all these athletes are graduating and getting a job if not going on to a professional league. Like the one guy said it's a slippery slope. If you pay the basketball players you gotta pay the lacrosse players cause they make Harvard and Johns Hopkins money too by playing on TV.

Also as a student, we help with the research and win scholarships that give the colleges credibility. Are we gonna get paid instead of having to borrow loans, especially for a master's degree.

[watchingme215]

Hell I wish I had a full scholarships most athletes I see anyway don't take advantage of these full scholarships anyway they get to school and flunk out or majority of them stay in trouble.

[dharr22]

this monkey just babbles on and on, making all kinds of wild accusations, its amazing that he has doctoral degree? the fact is college athletes choose to play college sports, if the training and what not are to hard, don't play, its that simple. i go to lsu and athletes there get a pimped out ride. the only reason why this guy is probably for athletes getting paid is because the majority of money making college athletes are black. by the way, im for affirmative action in sports, why?....lol

jackass

[Yendow23]

hahahahaha the way she said pimp

[Deerych]

This was a good clip. These atheletic programs are making millions. It's repulsive. Anytime you have coaches making more than university presidents, you see what America values more. I'm getting a headache from this.

spring and summer weightlighting and running progams are called voluntary workouts but your punished if you dont show up
