- Amateur by association. While family of coaches and athletic personnel get all-expense paid junkets to NCAA tournament games, parents of players must pay their own way. Debbie Shipp, mother of UCLA's basketball player Josh Shipp, said: "When you look at the amount of work and the amount of time … and the amount of money generated, it would be nice if they had some kind of stipend for parents in a (lower) socioeconomic level, where they could (see) their sons reach a pinnacle."

Sorry, Mrs. Shipp--your son is being given at least 30K per year for four years of goods and services for free--meals,books, rent, tuition, travel, tutoring--and you want more?
