I guess I'll go for football players but probably applies to all the money sports on campus.

What does student athlete mean in the current environment of pay for play?

Do players have to report/go to class?

Are there any academic standards that would prevent play because you're dumb, lazy or don't go to class?

Do scholarships still pay for tuition, books, housing?

How many of our players in their final year walk for a diploma as a %?

Why do we post GPA grades of our teams on Facebook if none of the above applies?

Are you a Knight for Life if you play one year? If you transfer to another school?

Can scholarship money be reapportioned to players in non-money sports?
