There should, at the very least, be a stipend that covers food, clothing, and room. I remember watching a move a while back (cannot remember the title or even the sport, but it's irrelevant) where a plot point is that a coach gets in huge trouble because a player's mother died, and he had the audacity to buy the kid a suit.

I could absolutely, 100% see that happening IRL.

Ed O' Bannon wrote a book about the whole issue and gave an interview on Tim & Sid (one of Canada's most popular sports shows, and a rare case of a duo sportstalk show not being dogshit) talking about it, they even discussed the idea of athletes refusing to play as a protest.

I'm glad this conversation is happening, and that at least some in the media are on the athletes' side.
