I agree with Jim's assesment. I would like to see instead of a monetary payment that every scholorship athlete regardless of how much money their sport profits gets a set amount of round trip plane tickets in the continental USA. These tickets could be used to go home for Christmas, or their parents to come and see them play. I think there would need to be some rule(hey its the NCAA's) that the tickets can only be used by the student/athlete themselves, a parent, guardian, or grandparent. Approval from the NCAA would be needed for other siblings. Now, I know there will be times that a bunch of players will get together and go to Vegas, but so be it. For instance, a student/athlete gets 4 plane vouchers per school year which can be used one at a time, or to bring their parents in for a game twice a year. I also think the NCAA should make a rule that does not let the colleges give the physical awards to the players until the player has used all of their eligibility or are leaving school whichever come first. This would eliminate, you Ohio St. from your players selling their rings and such.
