Hell I wouldn't be mad if I was the 3rd stringer who didn't get offered the car, I'd tell the starting QB or WR to give me a ride in his new car while we try and go pick up chicks.
Sounds to me like you are already just jealous of the athletes at the school you go to and don't want to see them get any more perks than they already do.
Everybody is not equal in this world and some people get perks because they are better at something.
Am I mad that I play soccer on a rec league team here in Calgary and have to pay for my own equipment, while Ronaldo gets paid to use Nike equipment because he is a better soccer player.
I agree that these athletes should not have taken the perks because they knew the rules when they signed up but to me the rule in itself is stupid because why can't college athletes sign up to endorse products to make themselves some money.
Plus lets not make Cam Newton, and Terrelle Pryor out to be such terrible human beings, they were placed in a tough situation as young men by older figures who they trusted.
Plus this is going on at every big football school in the NCAA, whether it be Auburn, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Florida, etc. It just happens to be that Auburn and Ohio State are in the spotlight now, much like USC, Miami, etc have been in the past.

Cam Newton:
1. Stole a lap top then threw it out of window of his dorm when the police came while at Florida.
2. Got caught cheating, not once, not twice, But three times. He was about to go in front of the school before he bailed out like a b*tch and went to JuCo.
3. He and his 'preacher' daddy shopped him around and lied about it and they're suppose to be god loving people....
The dude is SCUM and he and Pryor aren't in the same boat. The reason why Pryor is a big deal is that they got caught cheating and lied, then lied about that and got caught numerous times. Then the guy had the balls to go to the meeting where his coach steps down in another car bought by boosters.
