[NU Sports] Pay to Play

[Jim Leonard]

I have been saying for years that I think making loans available to scholarship 
athletes is the right middle ground. Just enough to cover that $4,000 or so a 
year that someone else mentioned. Ideally most kids wouldn't take the loans 
because their families would help, but it would solve the booster/summer job 
controversy and prevent the slippery slope of SEC signing bonuses. 

Go Cats!

Give up. Just because you disagree with athletes getting paid (as I do) doesn't 
make it a liberal cause. I would bet that the SEC would be the conference most 
likely to embrace the concept and the last time I looked at voter patterns, the 
South was not the bastion of wide eyed liberals.

And then you go into the military for whatever number of years.  Do football 
players have to serve with the NFL?
