A pilot will receive positive space coach on-line transportation to travel between the training location and any Company station before and after training and during each duty- free period of 48 hours or more, if sales are authorized at the time of his attempted booking.

Change the rules where schools can only recruit athletes with a reasonable chance of academic success and then require actual real progress toward a degree. Award future scholarships based on graduation rate and I might come back. The highest paid person at a college should be the president of the school not the football coach.

Those born into lower class households, or those who wouldn’t be able to afford the tuition, or wouldn’t otherwise be able to get into college academically are forced to play if they want to get a college education. And most don’t make it to the NFL.
My personal feeling, is that the big schools make TONS of money off of these kids and compensating them, at least a little, could change not only the players lives, but their family’s as well. I’m not against it, but there would have to be rules in place so the schools with the deepest pockets and biggest boosters weren’t always competing for the national championship. Alabama....Clemson....
Thank God Tennessee doesn’t have deep pockets.
