... The athletes, of course. Student-athletes, that is. Jerseys of these student-athletes, not only in basketball, but in football as well, can go for $150. ... Yet these athletes don’t see a penny of this extremely profitable business, although many use their talent for full scholarships. Student-athletes in all sports should be given spending money to cover living expenses because due to the rigorous schedules of athletes, spending money needs to come from somewhere, the athletes never make anything themselves from lucrative deals, and athletes that come from poor backgrounds have a small amount of cash as it is. ... ” Although the scholarships that the athletes are rewarded cover tuition, books, and room and board, the dozens of hours spent weekly practicing, reviewing game tapes, and traveling consumes much of their lives for more than a third of a year. If these athletes weren’t on teams, they could easily fulfill the requirements of part-time jobs on or off campus and earn enough money for ten pages of copying at the library followed by a nice meal in the dining hall. However, these athletes are tending to a sprained ankle or their jump shot instead of a customer or cashier.
