Thinking about it, $2K per football player is $170K per year. That's a decent assistant coach's salary. I wonder if we would be able to absorb that in the short term.

Scholarship athletes aren't even allowed to have campus jobs in order to earn money. No wonder they sell their swag.

I'm fairly certain that they can have campus jobs. One of our dlinemen last year (can't remember who exactly, maybe Perkins) worked at the Goldstein dining hall.

All this will do is create a 1A and 1AA in BBall as well. It is a joke that there are nearly 350 schools all playing at the same level.

Yeah, they wisely changed that rule a few years ago; some of the bigger state schools were abusing the jobs program, but forbidding players from having jobs was ridiculously unfair and really counterproductive.

My sources may be outdated as I'm referencing the mid 90's. Rules may have changed since then.
