Having read in Sunday's Salt Lake Tribune how college athletes "struggle" to support self, family, and/or loved ones "playing" their way through college broke my heart!

How do you think 99 percent of all the non-athletes make it through college? They "struggle" financially, just like college athletes do.

It's called welcome to the real world.
