Apologies. Boots is correct. I forgot again we’d linked to the blog. Been schmoozing at Austin Film Festival. The post and link to the bagel story is up now.

Most of the “college” players ARE being paid…it’s called a scholarship. Money is money and the NCAA is full of it.

Well now they changed the rules so that student athletes are allowed a piece of their names(Shirt sales), autographs and, if I’m not mistaken, sponsorships in some cases.
Yay for the kids!
