Exactly. You get it.

I think some fans are way behind the curve on this entire topic. I think it's tough for adults in their current mindset to sometimes get in the mindset of a teenager or kid in their early 20's. And to think like a 19 or 20-year-old who has nothing. Or grew up with nothing and who will now get $500 a month for literally just being on the team. That's a game-changer.

Sure if you are a middle-aged man with a  401K, a big paycheck bi-weekly, and close to retirement $500 a month is nothing TO YOU. As a 19 or 20-year-old with nothing who came from nothing, who is grateful for any decent meal he can get...your gonna give them that money each month just for playing football there instead of somewhere else, heck they will pull a hamstring running to sign that piece of paper.

And if I am a college football program seeing this, the way of thinking must be adjusted. Start investing time on recruiting businesses that can set up a similar structure to this being done with the Hurricanes. If you can sign on a couple of businesses to bankroll a roster and throw in a few hundred bucks for each player on the team, then the recruits will come to you. FOLLOW THE MONEY!
