It’s a tough situation, though. It’s hard enough to study and work. A lot of jobs at Cal (like parking attendant) allow time for study. You can’t exactly study while you’re doing line drills. Plus, it’s physically exhausting. You end up not doing as well in class because you’re tired all the time, so they’re sort of robbing them of the great education they came for.

If you don’t play pro ball, you might get a degree, but I’m guessing you don’t have a great GPA, (with some exceptions) and that can hurt if you want to get into grad school, or even when applying for a job.

Cal students who aren’t on full scholarship have a harder time paying for things.

I’m not sympathetic to student-athlete money woes. Either we the tax payers pony up more to help all students or we don’t. They get a full scholarship to play football and possibly go to the NFL.

No wonder he and JT are such good friends. I had no idea how up tight LaRussa was.
