> a former USC standout who was

5 this year, said that an athlete should
r be given back a portion of his contribution
to the university.
"He's the one out there, entertaining
the crowd," Sharpc said. "You
should give the kid what he's worth.
The coaches have expense accounts,
coach's cars, salaries. . . .Give the
kid $100 a month."
Edwards, another USC stan,
dout football player and athletic
3 scholarship recipient, agrees.
| "College football has become a
| business," Edwards said. He said the
athlete who puts in 32 to 40 hours a
^ week into his sport receives little of
? the rewards that the athletic depart- :
1 ment receives for that athlete's
i performance.
Athletes in non-revenue sports
such as volleyball, tennis, swimming,
and baseball rarely receive full
scholarship assistance. Many of these
athletes reccivc no financial aid from
the athletic department, although all
athletes contribute 20 to 40 hours per
i week to their sport.
Mark Nelson, a former walk-on
i baseball player now receiving
scholarship assistance, said athletes
: should get a stipend of $100 a month
" in recognition of their contributions,
s Getting a scholarship "didn't change
the way 1 play," Nelson said,
it "Whether or not 1 got the money, I
d still gave 100 pcrcent."
d Regardless of the reasoning, most
5 student athletes do not believe they
o arc fairly compensated for the work
they put into their respective sports.
With the renewed battle for paying
athletes well under way, the NCAA
t will have to re-examine its position
e and determine if athletes are indeed
:, being treated unfairly. j
