After Wall Street Journal published an article saying that the football programs of Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas are each valued at $1.5 billion dollars, Ohio State QB Joe Burrow had some viral tweets about being a student-athlete who can’t afford to eat:
Our team is worth 1.5 BILLION dollars but it wouldn't be fair to other students if we get a free hamburger https://t.co/SKHPmhzeRq

College Football anaylst Doug Gottlieb had this reply to the Buckeyes backup quarterback who is out for the year due to a broken bone in his throwing hand:
QB who gets cost of attendance to not play tweets about supposed NCAA rule that doesn't exist https://t.co/UTQ8BNB4T8

Burrow’s exchange with Darren Rovell about needing to eat 6-7 meals a day and the school not being able to provide this:
.@Joe_Burrow10, OSU is required to provide you with a meal at all times. They just can't buy it from Burger King. pic.twitter.com/51XaViKt4a

They are not required to. During the offseason they can only provide meals before and after workouts. I eat 6-7 meals a day https://t.co/bKTNgKUrDb
