Its not a bad thing to spot a kid a new pair of shoes and a little dough. Many of these kids spent their youth with old sneakers all shredded up in the front and they just kept playing ball. Give them the shoes and go down to the town park and when a local kid is out on the court day after day and his shoes are flaps and threads give him or her a pair too. The NCAA not the coaches are the ones turning college basketball into a bad insurance company. The schools give them 45 large a year for scholarships and the NCAA makes millions on them through TV but don't give them any cash. Give them some cash-its not going to hurt anyones pocket. The NCAA is in a delicate situation right now and I hope they don't go the way of professional sports but the coaches aren't the ones wrecking the league. Here is THE solution. There should be no scholarships proper for athletes, playing basketball or any other sport should be a year round work study job paying 5,000 bi-weekly, roughly 120,000 per year. This is for the starters, everything slides as minutes played goes down. The tuition and everything else comes out of this. Of course, if they are eligible for financial aid or other smaller academic scholarships they should be able to get those too, as well as any student loans they choose to take out. After tuition, room and board and bills are paid they could use their money as they pleased-to help their family, to invest, or to peee it away if they choose. Everyone is happy, and coaches aren't put in the position they presently are. Problem solved.
