Obviously, the walk ons pay tuition. What I don't know is what benefits a basketball walk on gets compared to a normal business major that doesn't play sports. Do they eat with the team and get their food paid for? For that matter, what benefits do the scholarship guys get. For instance, does the school pay for their shampoo? I know a normal student in the dorm has to buy their own shampoo. I listened to Matt Jones' show the other day with Devin Booker and Matt Jones commented on the sweatshirt he was wearing and asked him how much UK gear they actually got. Booker said he got tons and gave a bunch of it to family. Is that OK? Do the walk ons get as much stuff? When my granddaughter is hungry at 10 p.m. and orders a pizza, she pays for it. Do the ball players -- scholarship or walk ons?
I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. I'm sure this new "cost of attendance" takes care of a lot of what I'm asking. I'm just curious what they actually get and how is it divided between the players. Booker said on the radio that he has never had a bank account. I had one when I was six and that was a very long time ago. I remember going to the bank with my pass book and putting 50 cents in the bank.
I'm sure someone on here knows. Most of you seem to know everything. (That was a joke.)
