I think he's great that he's calling a spade a spade.
Yes, very important to shine a light on how malnourished college athletes are. Every time I see one of these guys on TV, I marvel at the muscle atrophy caused by the lack of protein in their diet.
Agreed.
He's not wrong.
Maybe he should employ some personal financial responsibility. Chooses to live off-campus, posts pictures of new clothes, chains, MacBook Pros, surround sound, etc. I didn't have that in college. I had loans. You would be complaining if the NCAA made athletes live on campus or monitored their spending, there is no wining strategy.
Oh, but you say, Jabrill brings in $ to Michigan and the NCAA! He deserves it. Ok, what about the longsnapper? What about a CB at Eastern Michigan? What about a male swimmer at Michigan? What about a female rower? If some athletes are going to get paid, they are all going to have to.
Lets not forget, the Michigan football is subsidizing pretty much every other sport/athlete on campus. Oh, but you say, Michigan turns a profit and can afford to pay them! What about the MAC schools where the average student is PAYING additional tuition to fund the sports teams? Should they pay more so that the athletes can get more than a free education, free housing, free meals, and additional money for books and expenses?
The issue has to be seen as a bigger picture, not simply through the lense of the 20 most profitable football programs at the 20 profitable athletic departments.

She may have been on some pretty good teams depending on what years. They won the Big Ten Tournament in 1997 and made it to the NCAA Tournament in their 4th year as a sport at Michigan.

Well, prices have gone certainly gone up since then. Have the student-athlete benefits? Honest question.

So I guess that means that no athlete should ever be hungry?
Because what fed your wife would surely feed a 210 lbs man. I'm sure your wife and Pep both come from the same background and have the same family financial situations as well.
Glad all things are equal so we can justify comments like this. Shame on Jabrill.
Edit: NM. didn't see the part about living off campus. Still, if he's really getting 1700 a month, he should be all set for food.
Not only that, but a lot of these guys are eating upwards of 5000 kcal/day. That is much more the your typical 3 square meals and snack...

dorms. I'm assuming the unlimited meals mean you have to be in the dorms. There are no Publix in the area with free crab legs. I guess this is an indication that Michigan follows the rules.
Perhaps the most relevant passage in the oh-so-vast NCAA Handbook:
15.2.2.1 Off-Campus Room and Board Stipend.
If a student-athlete lives and eats in noninstitutional facilities, the institution may provide the student-athlete an amount equal to the institution’s official on-campus room allowance as listed in its catalog, the average of the room costs of all of its students living on campus or the cost of room as calculated based on its policies and procedures for calculating the cost of attendance for all students. The institution also may provide the student-athlete an amount that is equivalent to an on-campus 7-day or 21-meal board plan or the cost of meals as calculated based on its policies and procedures for calculating the cost of attendance for all students, excluding those meals provided as part of the training table. Meals provided on the training table shall be deducted at the regular cost figure from such a student-athlete’s board allowance.

Yeah, but it would be pretty hypocritical of Harbaugh to punish Peppers for making contorversial statements on Twitter.
You mean the shitty Twitter grammar?
Do you mean it's the 2nd or 3rd best way to send the message or it's a bad way to deliver the message?
Should he hand deliver a note to each human?
I think what you mean is he should deliver the message in a diary or a prayer or some way that wouldn't actually deliver a public message, right? Or what do you really mean?

I was going to say I agree with you, and then I seen that you had >1.5m points and there has to be a story there so I'd rather ask about that.
Maybe because not everyone is a 1989 UM Grad?
