No one is forcing these kids ...That is ridiculous. No one is forcing these kids to play college ball. If they are fortunate enough to be offered a scholarship to play sports at the university level they can either take the offer or not. If they don't then they can go to college and pay themselves, borrow the money to do so or their folks can pay the freight. That doesn't make an athletic scholarship sound like exploitation to me. Sounds like the great opportunity it has always been. By the way I attended college on a athletic scholarship, so been there, done that.<br /><br />This entire narrative that college athletes are exploited is so removed from reality it's laughable. Have you checked out the facilities, uniforms, traveling conditions, tutoring and residences made available to most student athletes? Might as well go to school at the Bellagio. This is particularly true at schools like U of L.<br /><br />Further most state universities already offer either 2 or 3 credit hours of physical education (elective) credit per semester or quarter for varsity athletic program participation. <br /><br />I'll do you a favor and not bother addressing your exploited teacher argument.

They bring money into the university, certainly at Louisville, they work harder than anyone except cheerleaders, they are expected to do an amazing amount of community service and they do it with a smile. I entirely agree with this entry. Keep bringing up these issues and thanks.charlie mcadamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800800256342567962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-26371267906866536842014-08-16T09:24:02.999-04:002014-08-16T09:24:02.999-04:00OT: Asia Taylor taking one for the team.

Last night Asia once again showed herself to be Cardinal strong by taking a CHARGE from Daniel Adams ( formerly of Texas A & M) <br /><br />I predict that last night Asia spent considerable time in the cold tank as "DA" size now makes her college body look frail. <br /><br />Asia - Minnesota and Shoni - Atlanta teams both made it into the WNBA playoffs with games beginning next Thursday. <br /><br />Last night Shoni came up one assist short to have her first WNBA double double. Her assist passing last night would fill a highlight film - yes 9 assists but at least 3 other passes where easy shots were just missed. <br /><br />Louisville basketball is being well represented by Angel, Shoni and Asia as our school is named regularly during game broadcasts.
