[QUOTE="donner, post: 1494890, member: 277"] I think what most people are calling a "stipend" is really the check the players receive that covers their rent. From what the players i work with daily have said, the school has agreed to cover your housing via scholarship. If you choose to live off campus then you get that money in the form of a check and you are supposed to use it to cover your rent. The catch is, though, if the dorms are closed (say over xmas) then you don't get a check because if your scholarship wouldn't be paying money to the dorms then they can't give you the money. (It gets even more complicated when you start adding in days they are practicing over a break because the rules change again). My neighbor coaches volleyball at Ole Miss and even he has issues keeping all the nuanced rules straight sometimes. No matter how you cut it, though, the schedule of most college athletes sucks a lot. It leaves very little time for any kind of other job. [/QUOTE]
