And dont give me this non profit crap. if the NCAA is non profit, then why are they in business?? Its b/c they make a profit somehow, maybe they dont get taxed onit, but they are rolling in the $$$.
Also did you know the NFL is a non profit organization? Kinda fricked up what can be listed as non profit, aint it??
Also if these players can get 17,000$ in cash each year, you think the whole football team is getting that?? If you have 88 players on scholarship times 17,000, you come up with over a million paid every yr to players on uga. You think that this is actually happening? With the football program bringing in the only profit for uga for a sports program, I highly doubt every scholarship player is gettin 17,000$ a year. If so, then good for them, but agian this seems highly unlikely.

Well,all the kids living off campus do recieve the stipend and I'd say the majority of kids we recruit/sign would be elgible for Pell Grants
and hardship funds...not unlikely at all

Not all of that is coming from the University.
As was said... the living stipend comes from the University.
That's long been a loophole for the players to have spending cash. South Carolina had players being charged about $100/month to stay at the Whitney Hotel all the while receiving their stipend. That was an NCAA violation (they have to be charged market rent). But this is no secret for how the players can get monthly cash.
If you keep fighting the argument that the players aren't well taken care of, you are arguing because you are angry about something else.
The players have it made.
Would they like more?
Absolutely. And they'd spend it on more expensive cars and car insurance. More expensive cable packages. More expensive phones and gadgets/gaming systems.
These are 18 year olds. Not financial planners.
If you give them more, they would be more broke.
