I dont know if people are aware that, you know, theres a lawsuit filed yesterday, sackow versus the ncaa which is relying on the fair labor or fair standards labor act and why student athletes under scholarship are not paid minimum wage, which becomes another issue since other in work study situations other students are paid the minimum wage and are able to gain some kind of paycheck. But in the end i do believe that our culture in Co
