Who would have ever thought that the some of best NCAA basketball players at top schools are going to bed hungry?
This is indeed the case. Shabazz Napier, one of the top basketball players in the country who plays for University of Connecticut recently told reporters he sometimes goes to bed “starving” because he can’t afford food.
MYFOX8 reports:
State Rep. Matthew Lesser and other state lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow athletes at the University of Connecticut to unionize, Lesser said.
“He says he’s going to bed hungry at a time when millions of dollars are being made off of him. It’s obscene,” Lesser said. “This isn’t a Connecticut problem. This is an NCAA problem, and I want to make sure we’re putting pressure on them to treat athletes well.”
“I don’t feel student-athletes should get hundreds of thousands of dollars, but like I said, there are hungry nights that I go to bed and I’m starving,” Shabazz Napier said.
