100% opposed to any sort of (additional, in some cases) stipend.
Half these football players wouldn't even be in school if it weren't for athletics. And they're going to cry about free college? I absolutely cannot stand that.
And how can you even begin to quantify what a reasonable stipend would be? And if you did quantify it, would you pay the third stringer the same as the starting QB? Does the middle reliever in women's softball get something too? And whatever number you come up with, I can promise you a thousand times over that it won't be enough. The elite atheletes will eventually want more. And at that point the integrity of college athletics will be completely compromised. We're already on our way as it is - paying players under the table, players who get booted off one team only to be welcomed with open arms onto another team. It's absolutely disgusting. And some of us don't want to watch the NFL and Sunday AND Saturday.

The integrity is already gone. Steroids were around when I was in college eons ago. Money has always been a factor. Jan Kemp exposed athletics under Dooley, and then you had Herrick. Now it is the farce of special qualifiers.
I value all of your opinions. In a perfect world, I would love to see the return of student athletes. I'm not holding my breath.
How about this, should a kid be forced to sit a year if he wants to transfer?
