I’ve argued with many people that college athletes, especially at the division one level do not "have it made." I can see why someone from the outside looking in might have those beliefs, but if they truly knew what these athletes go through on a daily basis, I’m sure their views would change instantly. To the misinformed, it’s easy to see why athletes might have it made; the popularity, the free gear, the scholarships, it all looks great from the outside. What they’re seeing is only the end result though; they don’t get to see what it’s like in the trenches during the offseason or being away from home for 11 months out of the year.
Do College Athletes "Have it Made"?
