The NCAA is making millions and yet the players can't really take a job and can't accept a free pizza.

I used to work at Domino's, and sometimes we would just whip up some free pizza's and run them over to one of the dorms. It was good advertising, the students appreciated it and ordered Domino's when they ordered.

We did this at all the dorms. We made up some and took them over to the football player's dorms. They ran like scalded dogs. "No, no, no, get those outta here."

They earn millions, but can't accept the same thing regular students can. They should be paid a stipend. Just a small stipend would keep a lot of this under the table stuff down.
