For some reason I was thinking about athletic scholarships (specifically collegiate scholarships for football). Now that I've given it some though, I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, it gives some kids a chance to go to good colleges who otherwise couldn't afford it. On the other hand, it says to these kids, "We'll help you out but only if you're willing to march around on television to entertain us rich folks." On yet another hand, if it weren't for scholarships, NCAA football would be as boring as high school football.

In the end, I would say I'm for them, based strictly on the third hand.
