    Oh good, I was just thinking that as if the top teams weren't stacked enough in the college game, now let's let them throw in more $. Now when a kid is trying to decide between being a 3rd stringer at LSU or starting at Northern Appalachain Valley Community College, there's just one more reason for him to join the big dog in hopes of one day actually sniffing the playing field. And lately when those two teams met LSU's only won by 60... we need to increase that spread.

    I know that $2,000 would deter me from taking $10,000 and a new car from a booster.

    Isn't that a pay cut at some football schools?

    Entire idea was Delany looking for a way to keep killing off athletic competition to the Big Ten in particular and BCS conferences in general. $55 a week isn't keeping anyone from taking booster money and anyone that's been on campus knows it's not like the football players are the ones hitching rides on the bus and buying ramen now. People on the bus might steal their $400 smart phones and Ipods.

    You think the University of North Dakota won't find 50 grand for their 25 hockey players?

    That's true, but when the 58 (no, sorry 57) schools left start looking at budgets, some of them will. Not Big Ten schools, but schools that have to "pay" for FB/BB players may find the $250K by dropping their hockey team. And in the long run, those choices aren't good for hocley as a sport.

    2000 bucks...

    College students are in session probably about maybe 35 weeks...

    give or take...

    I am whiting out part of my post for the benefit of the posters that constantly complain about math...

    2000 / 35 = $57 1/7...

    And how much do the Major Junior players get "paid", again?

    This is not a good thing for most schools, especially those without football/basketball to generate the $$.

    If this helps cut crappy sports from the schools budgets, I am all for it.

    Leave useless things like lacrosse, rowing, golf, cross country, etc. at the club level.

    What's your problem with lacrosse? And rowing has a long and storied intercollegiate history.

    This is great. Let's give these kids some money to buy synethetic marijuana and coke. Or bankroll their dogfighting enterprise.

    Does the NCAA think that any of these players(football mostly) really think that $2000 a year will be enough. Funny thing is this rule will probably only
    help those that follow the rules.

Do football players get the money and tennis players don't? Could there be lawsuits based on distribution of the funds?
    Depends on how the conferences implement the changes, I suspect that most if not all D1 conferences will allow it for both men's and women's basketball, and that as long as the funds are distributed on title IX standards then it shouldn't be an issue to not have all sports receive the extra funding.
