5: Games I played as a child
There are a lot of games I used to play as a child, like tag or hide and seek. However, there was one game we always went out to play.

Tom Farrey, author of Game On, argues in chapter 6 that the NCAA creates scholarships to benefit themselves more than it does the students who receive them. Notably, the students cannot receive four year education deals; more often, they can only receive partial scholarships that only last for half of their college life, and while there are full rides for some, the full rides only cover college costs and not many of the lively expenditures students face.
