i was the broke guy in college washing his socks with bar soap in the shower.
that being said, Im fairly sure I purchased 90% of my college textbooks (and my kindbud) from basketball/football players who had the uncanny ability to walk into bookstores, get books at no cost without stealing, and then sell them to me for a fraction of the cost. i know that SOMEONE, including myself, is paying for these books, but given the current system, I wouldn't have had them if it weren't for college athletics.
