How much should it be?
The only person I know who got a stipend was for an internship after college where his room/board/transportation was provided, and he got $150 a week.
Because the athletes aren't allowed to get part time jobs and aren't allowed to get money in any way unless their parents give it to them, and many of them have poor parents, not all of them are 5 star guys with bag men slipping envelopes under uncle's door, if they get a stipend, how much should it be?
$75 a week? $150 a week? I'm considering their dorm and books and classes and transportation fees and student fees etc are already paid for.
You don't want it to be too much because small schools wouldn't be able to afford it.
Has there already been discussion on this? Am I Kaiser Wilhelm?

Won't happen. You pay Football players you got to pay everybody. With IX that means women, too. The smaller schools simply could not afford it.

I think it needs to be something like pay for housing, meals, health insurance, books and school materials (including laptop) then give them 400-600$/month
Including tuition and fees into that, you are looking at about 60k$ per student. I feel like that is pretty reasonable all together and hard to argue against

Ummm.... People need to realize that they are currently getting money.
I was an NCAA athlete. Got money for groceries (on top of meals provided on campus), housing, books, tuition, clothes. It's more than a fair deal.
This talk of paying is driven by the media who want to destroy the NCAA and create a new paradigm that allows them to make more money.

I thought they could get part time jobs.

I got $1,000 for being in the marching band. Shouldn't be any more. Any more, and you're kidding yourself. I heard some idiot governor suggest $3650 a month. That's like a full time job!

They already get stipends:
-for food
-if they decide they want to live off campus instead of athletic dorms

$0 - if an education isn't worth it, let them form their own league.
I love the march of the Lemmings.
You people hear the media play a tune and before you know it you're all lined up marching in a circle.

Honestly, I think we are moving in the direction of a stipend. I think a stipend is fine. Not really necessary as being broke is part of life for most college students and athletes already get enough perks and advantages over the student population as it is, but I am ok with a small one.
As I pointed out in another thread however, it won't do much to end the discussion as people will always talk about what a big business college athletics are and say it isn't enough.

How about we get baseball teams some more scholarships before giving out stipends.

I got 100 dollars a month while on ROTC scholarship in the 1980's at AU.
In todays dollars, probably 500 or so.

Who gives a shite. These people already have notoriety. Why do they need money when people already look up to and revere them? They have everything they need and they are pursuing their dreams and becoming a better man/woman while doing it. With some bad ones here and there.
This is a terrible idea and it is irrational and detrimental to the overall college.
Stupid. Stupid idea. Jesus Christ it's a stupid idea.
