GIVE ME A BREAK!

Since when does the college or university have to be the parent? And how many athletes rebel when they make rules like one? Let their families give up a little for them to live and spend money at college---just like any other college student!

The poor football players----they get a scholarship to earn an education, free room and board, travel to their "work" (games out of town), a paid vacation if they do well (bowl games) and the opportunity to make mllions the rest of their lives.

I agree that there may be some stupid rules that punish unfairly such as times when travel is wanted for funerals---but every other student has to find a way to make ends meet too. If they don't like the rules or the life, don't go to college, stay home, and work at your local conveince store!
