[QUOTE="MinerFrog2409, post: 2558903, member: 72374"] Honestly I get why athletes aren't being paid a lot of money but I do think that there should be some livable wage given. I got $755 a month on top of tuition, books and 6 meals a week. So I had to make that work for my rent and the 2 other meals of the day and whatever else I wanted for the month. There were also charges for things such as parking passes that cost hundreds of dollars a year. I wasn't getting those as part of my full scholarship. Luckily I come from a family that was able to supplement me if I ever needed money but that wasn't the case for most of my teammates. I remember multiple guys who were less fortunate than me having to steal food to make ends meet. A full scholarship isn't really a full scholarship. I know my situation at a smaller D1 school is not the exact same as a guy who goes to TCU but there are definitely areas for improvement in student athlete life and wages. [/QUOTE]
