'Training expenses'

My only training expenses were $6 worth of bus fare, can't imagine how that racks up to $50-100, and why it's just a given that they're entitled to be reimbursed for this so called expense. But that's a different conversation. 

As for the $2k, I'm on the fence about it and sympathise with arguments from both sides. But had a brief interesting convo with ifill about it in twitter where I put forward that some of these players are perfectly happy to take $ out of the game, but as soon as they're asked to give some back, its a big deal. He went on to say fair enough, but that they'll give back when they go pro but shouldn't be asking them before then. I agreed but also said that currently the ratio of players who end up going pro isn't exactly great at the moment.
