First of all the research money is coming because of the professors and the students get the opportunity to work on the research by virtue of having been admitted into the program. I think the sports is just the opposite. I think the world of Brey and Freeman but I wasnt going to watch them on the sidelines.

Here is my quesiton. Why dnt schools tell told every undergrad on academic scholarship they need to work the same number of hours in their field of study as athletes log in their sports and that all funds generated from their work will go to the University.

I am not talking about a kid in the cafeteria on aid due to his economic background. I also understand that in many graduate programs this is part of the deal. Why is there no expectation the academic kids "earn" their keep like the athletes?
