[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 2591885, member: 10585"] That is $5k a year limit with a 4 year paid "cost of attendance" scholarship. The cost of attendance thing is where the money will be. Schools are going to justify so much money for cost of attendance it will just be ridiculous. A friend of mine who played college football in the 70's suggested that you pay them an hourly wage. It can be minimum wage or a little higher. They will get that wage for attending class, attending practice and meetings and such. If you miss out you do not get paid for those hours. Most of these kids get out of the scholarship what they put into it. If they want to be successful at football and academics they are. If they only pass enough classes to be stay eligible then they reap what they sow. Yes the scholarship model needs to change, however some of the stuff that people want will severely screw up collegiate sports. I am surprised that so many here at OSA support this redistribution of wealth plan. On a side note when will the soccer players and wrestlers start taking the schools to court for not being treated equally. What about the women's basketball teams? Title IX anyone? [/QUOTE]
