Smoked some wings last night for tonight’s game, as I’ll be cutting it close to kickoff by the time I’m home from work. Gonna do a quick reheat in the oven to crisp them a little, any recommendations for time? Thinking 400 for about 15 Mins should get me where I wanna be

That should do it.

Oh they expect one... it’s more like the bitter 38yr old woman who is “on the clock”.

Most of them are getting paid through scholarships. I wouldn’t mind them getting paid a little pocket change as well but my concern is once you open that door there will be no end.

A scholarship isn’t worth much these days as compared to pre lotto days. Anyone can get an in state lotto funded scholarship with decent (not great) grades. You’ve got strength coaches making $500k and there’s no money to pay these kids? 

The one sickening thing about CFB is how much money it brings in, yet the kids don't see a dime. I.e. Todd Gurley gets suspended for selling HIS autograph. Yet others are making money hand over fist. 

I read one article arguing schools should put money in a long term scholarship fund if they want to continue education down the road, or have medical issues, etc. 

I went to a service academy, and we weren't allowed to work, and also had a pretty busy schedule with school, athletics and military stuff. So they paid us a stipend, on top of room, board, food, education. It was nice to have some money to do something other than sit in the dorms. 

I wonder if NCAA could ever do something similar; attach a capped amount per month, per scholarship. I think the main downside is what about sports that don't bring in money (men's wrestling, women's water polo, etc etc). That could add up really quick--especially for schools that don't make hundreds of millions from football. 

Which Academy?  Please don't say Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Merchant Marine.  Other than those, you'd be good!
The stipend we got during my days could be gone in a matter of minutes on a weekend to NYC, so you had to be pretty tight w it. 
I generally agree though that there should be some money for all athletes.  They can look at it at the conference levels as well to help some of the smaller schools.  There will never be an easy or perfect answer, but it's gotta to be better than what's going on right now.

This trophy sux.  The crystal ball was much better.

I’d pay an appearance fee to get Blankenship to Butt Blast.

A Big 10 team would make it more exciting
