<p>I agree with hops. It is the parents fault. Our DS’s best friend had the chance to play football at a lower quality university on a full ride, or go to a higher university on a partial merit. He chose the merit, b/c he realized he would never play professionally, but he would be a professional in the corporate world and the education meant more.</p>
<p>DS goes to UMD, (Bullets alma mater) I use to feel the same way, until Bullet explained to me how much money the Fridge and Gary bring into the school (everytime they play on national tv, the school gets money). When they are bringing in that kind of money and living under that level of pressure they deserve to be monetarily rewarded.</p>
<p>I also agree…lets complain more about Sean Penn, since Hollywood is getting bailout money and the universities aren’t!</p>
