Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 51922, member: 289"] Bud Poliquin always makes the point about players getting an education worth- he used the figure $300,000. But what is the value of a scholarship to someone who isn't there to get a degree? If a kid is in school because adults have laid that out as the route to the NFL or NBA, what does the $300,000 mean to him? How does he spend it? How does he react to the schools making all these moves to increase their revenue while using a draconian system of rules to make sure the players don't get any of that cash. I think a living expense stipend is a good thing and let the kids profit from their own likenesses, signatures and memorabelia. The NCAA should concentrate on illegal recruiting inducements and unethical things done to keep kids eligible. [/QUOTE]
