The idea of trying this in a college game Most student-athlete- s is ludicrous. would never even think of it. Personally, I would rather watch a game where everyone is giving their absolute greatest effort than one where the biggest stars decide when they feel like playing. 76ers point Allen Iverson made guard $11.2 million last season. Thats $4,290 per minute of actual playing time. He has frequently skipped practice. Okay, I understand that hes been injured and played like a little warrior during games, but he has to find time to Philadelphia learn some plays so the team doesnt have to resort to their usual give the ball to Allen and stand back game plan.

Dont believe student-athlete- they walk away empty-handethough; they dont. They leave with an education, an opportunity, or even a degree. Oh yeah, and a greater love of the game. s PREVIEW continued from PAGE 6 cer team are sophomores Amy Gustaveson, a forward, Teryn Mendenhall, who plays midfield, and Chaysie Call, who also plays midfield If you have looked at the soccer schedule for this year, you may wonder why there won't be many home games Well, thats because there are many teams on the schedule that dont want to come all the way to St. George to play so the Rebels have to pack up and travel down to Las Vegas, Nevada seven times in order to play them It makes things hard that the teams wont come here, but if thats what we have to do, then that is what we have to do, says Huddleston at Dixie, The Dixie Rebels head up to Grand Junction, Colorado where they will play Fort Lewis and Mesa State College this weekend sport teams have a big battle to fight this season, but they are prepared and ready to fight.
