          What this image tells us is that the NCAA has regulations that prevents them from giving college athletes any form of compensation besides the scholarships, or any other benefit, they have received when being chosen to play for a school. If these college athletes did receive anything more than it'd violate NCAA regulations. However, the "real" violation is that college athletes pour every ounce of energy they have into playing the sports to only generate revenue for the NCAA. None of it going to the athletes. The NCAA can only give these athletes funds that are the bare minimum to keep them going for their education. I feel like these athletes aren't being compensated enough for all the hard work they put in. The NCAA should increase the value of their scholarships to help cover a majority of the college fees in the four years these athletes attend college. The NCAA makes billions from what college athletes do, yet they got nothing or else it would be a violation.

What is being seen her and what is always constantly brought up is unpaid student athletes. As most student athletes who join a division 1 sport it is rare for all of them to have a full scholarship. The reason is because the school or coach say often times that they do not have enough money. This meme in a way is mocking how hypocritical coaches are as they say they do not have the money, yet their salaries consume half that money that they could use. I feel as though it is a perfect example capturing the concept of underpaid and unappreciated student college athletes.
