Very interesting

quote:

FORT WASHINGTON, Md.— In landmark action for major-college sports, schools and athlete representatives from the NCAA's five wealthiest conferences on Saturday voted 79-1 to expand what Division I schools can provide under an athletic scholarship. The vote, taken during the NCAA's annual convention, redefines an athletic scholarship so that it can cover not only the traditional tuition, room, board, books and fees, but also the incidental costs of attending college. That means a scholarship will now be able to pay for items including transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.

They are basically playing catch up. They could either give 100 teams the death penalty or update the rules.

More Money=More Weed To Buy=More Failed Drug Test=More Players Suspended...this will not work out well for UGA.
