Message: [QUOTE="Full_Rebar, post: 1098780, member: 3530"] After A&M did it successfully, you knew everyone else would follow. Saw a thing from Feldman last night that Baylor was looking into this for Petty and two others. I have big issues with this for a couple of reasons. One is that this money is coming from the student-athlete opportunity fund, so the BS about not compensating for likeness usage due to fairness to other sports is exposed as the joke it is. No other student at these schools is going to get more than a couple of thousand to fly home after a death in the family or to cover loss due to theft/fire. Second, what is the difference in paying Winston 60k (w/ academic benchmarks to be met) instead of covering 60k of insurance premiums? The 60k is clearly an extra benefit to him and his family based upon athletics participation. Complete joke. [/QUOTE]
