I'm in favor of stipends, but I agree with Dabo that there is too much entitlement these days. "Wah, wah, college football makes millions on TV so I should be making 6 figs now."

Yeah, I wish all those kids would have some pride and put in a good day's work to earn a good day's wage. Lazy do-nothings.

Don't you mean billions, not millions?

But really, I kind of agree with you. If they don't like how their current school is compensating them, they should either take their services to another school that will pay them more or shut up. One of the great things about America is that we have antitrust laws that do a pretty good job of ensuring you can get your true worth on the open market.

Is there some way to read this site that doesn't require me to click every single post?

The greatest generation never had to deal with this problem. I should probably just learn some respect.

Is Oliver going to take over The Daily Show?

I think Stewart was grooming him for it. But, Oliver can drop f-bombs and be less fettered on HBO. Guessing if the compensation is similar, he'd stay put.

No reason he can't do both shows.

My guess is that Dabo is going to find a way to capitalize on this. It's not like he's being criticized for having an affair with an intern or tax evasion. He's just getting free publicity for having a name. I would embrace this for all the free pub it's getting me. Heck, paint it on the field and roll with it.

Heck yea! Their Ag school could do something with it. Also, their fans could say I Poot Tons A Year in honor of their coach.
