umm not quite. I was on a full scholarship then a partial at a smaller school... never once worried about food or being homeless. If I wanted to have extra night time money, then I knew I needed to suck it up and work some hours. I worked 20 hours a week, practiced 4-7 hours a day, and took 18+ hours of college credit for 3 years year round. It's doable. No different than a non-athlete with a child who is a full time student and works a full-time job. Just as with school teachers... if an athlete is that unhappy with the payment they are receiving then choose a different job. problem solved.
Good for the NCAA to agree to allow student to receive payment for services outside of the school. Stil unreal that system is allowed today. Just imagine the blow back if you replace term "athlete" with "minority" or "refugee" and see how fast things would change due to the pc world of today.
