It's time to let the players have a piece of the pie. You can't possibly convince me that Charlie Weis is worth more to Notre Dame than Brady Quinn. Kids aren't buying Weis jerseys. They're buying Quinn jerseys. Indeed, a few Florida and Ohio State players complained before the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game that they were being exploited -- and they are.

Why do you need convincing, Mr. "Hot topic aricle guy who knows it's a slow news day in college sports"?
The Jersey comparison between player and - a coach? That argument is lame. As for the fellas thinking they are being exploited? Go pump gas and work your way through Junior College and then while you are at it, think back how much fun football is just to played? By the way, the collectors are calling... you havent paid back your tuition yet for the classes you dropped because you quit the job you hate.
This dude, this article man is way out there. Focus article man, focus.
I don't know this writer from Adam, but this is not a new idea. It's been debated for a while. Personally, I think the NCAA and the universities whore these kids like there is no tomorrow. I have no problem with a small monthly stipend.
