But that doesn't make the situation equitable. There are so many restrictions for student athletes, such as trying to work a part time job that it's absolutely ridiculous. My son has academic scholarships but he can work anywhere he wants to.

Rick Majerus has his program put on probation for taking a player out to eat after his father passed away. That's absolutely ludicrous.

I don't have the answers but the system is broke and needs to be fixed.
