First off, nice way to call the game ref (see yesterday's post) ....... I guess getting punched in the face resulting in a broken nose and a jersey full of blood does not qualify as roughing the passer. Give me a break!
I went to bed last night in the third quarter thinking that the Steelers were going to lose. Imagine my surprise when I watched this morning's news only to find out the Steelers pulled a victory out of certain defeat. Steelers 13, Ravens 10.......way to go Troy Polamalu for once again saving the game!
In other sporting news, Penn State University will be playing in Florida at the Outback Bowl. PSU plays January 01, 2011 at 1 PM against Florida. Unfortunately that will be the same time as the Winter Classic, so I will be switching back and forth between games.
PSU will earn $3.4 million for its appearance in the outback bowl, win or lose. It's a pretty good paycheck for the school which brings up the question should college athletes be paid for playing?
I know they receive a free education through scholarships, but what about actual living expenses etc....I would really like to know your opinion, should college athletes be paid?

I don't think they should be paid, but do they? If the school itself is getting the $3.4 million, I'd think it would be specified by the NCAA that the money is to be used to support the football program. Considering how close they watch the kids and make sure they receive no perks from scouts, I wouldn't think they'd let the players receive money for appearing in a bowl game.
