Sam, either show me a pay stub or get of the "money" kick. Besides, it is irrelevant to the point of coaches controlling the players.

I'm not sure what the documentation for the monthly housing allowance is but I'll send you a copy in a couple months if you really want it. Same with the paper that allows kids to get free textbooks. And food. And dental work. Don't yet know how the tens of thousands of dollars per year in tuition that the school pays for is documented. Probably no paper for the free off the field sweats, shoes, jackets, etc. Same for the cost of having someone launder those items. We were even told that some parents just buy their kid a house and pay the mortgage with a couple of other college kids paying rent and their kid's housing allowance.

Whether it is relevant or not is another matter. But there is absolutely no question that kids are being compensated for playing softball. As opposed to the parents paying for the opportunity for their kid to play.

It might be interesting to see how many non scholarship college players were at 18G Nationals.

Does it make a difference if they were on a scholarship or not?

Sam - Are you suggesting non-scholarship college players were there trying to get a scholarship offer?

If so, should Premier also allow non-scholarship college players if they allow JuCo players?

or they are going to some lame JO college..

Or weak barely anything scholarship and parents cant afford..

You know or all these other reasons these same JO people voted year after year to keep them playing...

A JO college? What in the hell are you talking about?

Gary should allow who he chooses to allow. I'm suggesting that:

A: I'm betting that there weren't very many non=scholarship players at Gold Nationals.
B: The walk-ons aren't professional softball players....though they are certainly semi-professional.

There are a whole lot of players going to JC's on scholarships.
