But that doesn't change the fact that the scholarship athlete is still forced to walk around broke. Give him a loan for spending money if you want (and I thought maybe they changed the rules to allow for spending money), but he's entitled to have a few bucks in his pocket.
Turn the argument around...If you couldn't hold a job as a condition of a student loan, do you think people wouldn't cheat and game the system? Would you chastise them for doing so?
