That's ludicrous - how much money do these other kids bring to the school? Football teams in the Big East get almost $40 million a year in revenue from the TV deal for airing their games. With even 75 players on a squad, that's about $4 million in scholarships at $50k/year. That's a lot of money that these kids are bringing to the school in exchange for the pittance they receive (and we haven't even touched on ticket sales or merchandising).
