NCAA Waivers

I agree with you, but they rarely make exceptions because there are so many situations where it would make sense to let these kids make some money. Hell, for so many of these kids, they are parents to their own parents who are either on drugs or completely dependent on them.
But God forbid they accept an envelope with $5,000 in it even though they spend half their time travelling and practicing and playing in games that make their schools huge money.
The whole thing is stupid.
