Do they sweeten the pot for the players in any other way, do you know?
No. There have been various demands that players be paid a stipend, to give them some "walking around money" since they really can't work a job and go to school and do sports. The NCAA and the schools have always opposed this, I suspect at least in part because paying the students in that fashion cuold result in them being viewed as "employees" -- which would, for example, require the school to pay the student workers compensation benefits if the student is injured playing sports.
It also comes uncomfortably close to being a payoff.
Make it worth his while. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
That goes without saying.
The dishwasher is running. The stuff that wouldn't fit is soaking in the sink. Yes, there really was that much stuff in the sink. I think dinner is going to be take out pizza because there is no light in the kitchen at the moment. As soon as the dishwasher is done, I am going to take a long soak in the tub, which should help the pain. BTW, for those who don't hate sweet smelling beauty products, Bath & Body Works' Tutti Dolci honey baths make lots of lovely bubbles and they're on sale now.

Maybe, but then so is tuition and room and board, which is what a student-athlete gets now. I think I'd rather stop the charade of them getting outside "jobs" from boosters and let them use whatever free time they have actually going to classes and otherwise being college students. I think $50.00-$100.00/month during the sports season is not unreasonable. I mean, without a job or family, some of the athletes now don't have money to go to a movie, chip in to buy a pizza, etc. They "work" long hours for sports for the school. A small stipend seems fair to me.

Absolutely. The colleges are making assloads of money. Set some standard across the board, maybe, to stop the big schools offering fat paychecks, but ... indentured labour is so century before last.
Pageant photo retouching -- this stuff is like crack.
Ugh. I don't wanna talk about circumcision again, but I'm running out of distractions.
Okay, a salad shooter shoots salad. What does that mean? And, while we're on the subject, what does a salad spinner do? Does it just air dry your veggies?
But a $50-$100/a month at Emory is not the same as $50-$100 a month at LSU. Tuition and room and board at least are tied to a relatively stable measure. I agree that jobs from boosters is a sticky area, and that time could better be spent elsewhere.
The before shot of the first kid in ita's first link is a cutie pie!
Some of those retouched photos are just bad photos. Bad lighting, etc.
