Today's question: Should college athletes be paid to play? Absolutely. Scholarship players get a free or partially funded education, depending on the sport. They should receive enough money to purchase clothes, food and entertainment. I don't mean enough money to live lavishly or pay for an automobile.
DENVER - Sports fans pay a lot of money for tickets, and some live to see their team win. Athletes get paid a lot to win; some feel tremendous pressure to live up to expectations and some have little connection to the paying customers. The combination can be nasty, as seen in recent episodes in basketball and Major League Baseball.

Athletes at the highest level of college sports could receive money for personal expenses as part of their scholarships if an idea floated by the Big Ten becomes reality. The prospect of offering additional funding to cover an NCAA Division I athlete's full cost of attendance - the money above and beyond just what's paid to the university - has been a long time coming, advocates for student-athlete welfare say.
Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami booster who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports he provided impermissible benefits to 72 of the university's football players and other athletes between 2002 and 2010. Shapiro said he gave money, cars, yacht trips, jewelry, televisions and other gifts to a list of players including Vince Wilfork, Jon Beason, Antrel Rolle, Devin Hester, Willis McGahee and the late Sean Taylor. Shapiro also claimed he paid for nightclub outings, sex parties, restaurant meals and in one case, an abortion for a woman impregnated by a player. One former Miami player, running back Tyrone Moss, told Yahoo! Sports he accepted $1,000 from Shapiro around the time he was entering college.
Today's question: What goal, if any, should the U.S. government set for its next initiative in space exploration? Our next initiative should be the encouragement and support of private companies to maintain a manned presence in space. The United States has shown what is possible with the exploration of the moon and the construction of the International Space Station.

After all, everything about the lives of our celebrity athletes encompasses abnormality. From a young age, they are conditioned to believe that they are superior in a Darwinian sense. The moment these physical outliers are spotted on playgrounds, they are courted by "street agents" who fill their heads with dreams of dollars, endorsement deals, celebrity and all those other things that fulfill their adolescent desires to be "feared and worshipped." These promising youths (the fittest, the strongest) are promptly shipped off to shoe-sponsored sports camp, where their talents are honed under the adoring gaze of coaches. Money, gifts, promises and special favors from unscrupulous agents, shoe executives and recruiters inevitably follow. And if they hit the big time, their images are beamed...

There was a limited amount of economic and social "progress" that was achieved during the '60s and '70s, the so-called "lucrative" years for minorities but Black Americans started their victory celebration in the fifth inning because they felt that they had an insurmountable lead and they were confident that their "bullpen" could protect that lead. They started Their touchdown dance not realizing that instant replay was about to nullify the score. The moral, economic and social standards that were set by the "baby boomers" before the torch was passed to this oftentimes "lost generation" seems to be a remote recollection. A significant percentage of this current age group seems to be continually attempting to douse the torch of "progress" in the arctic-like waters of "regression" trying ...
