Last I heard there is a formula that each school uses.
I'm not sure what all is included in that formula. But this is being addressed, post haste, by the ADs and coaches. It was discussed at length at the SEC meetings in Destin. Eventually this will be evened out.
But until then, Auburn and Tennessee continue to pay their players more than anyone else.

Meh... Our boosters will just step up the $100 handshakes. Nothing to see here...

And right on que the Dawgs will do this the "Georgia Way" and lag behind the others until we are forced to adjust. Dawg forbid UGA ever be a driver in this stuff.

Prediction: 'Bama will be the first school to pass the $10,000 COA barrier.

I don't blame Tennessee or anybody else working within the system to improve their program. I do wonder why the NCAA thought this would work with so little oversight. Obviously, schools are going to game it to try to get a recruiting advantage.

I don't know- Bama's more into performance bonuses.

Exactly, and even if the SEC fixes it- the SEC will still have to complete with the Big10/Pac12, etal.
Since everything else is covered this is pure pocket $$. The difference in AU/ UT's $5K and UGA's $2.5K is pretty big to a 19 year old. I worked every summer in a un-air-conditioned warehouse for $2500.

It really was such a ridiculous loophole that everyone saw coming. Now they will fight over it and change it in a couple years when it could have been resolved so simply from the very beginning. It's hilarious that a city like Starkville, Tuscaloosa, or Auburn supposedly has a higher cost of living than LA or Seattle. Just make it the same for everyone, or I would even be fine with the NCAA deciding what each school can pay based on a neutral third party cost of living calculation.

At some point the conference commisioners will come to the conclusion that someone will have to regulate this and since the NCAA already exists, might as well have them do it.
I bet it's a conference wide standard first.

2. Auburn: $5,586 ($621)
Wow! I thought the athletic dept was in the hole?

remember this was put in place by the P5 org to ensure they can "buy" a competitive disadvantage over the other conferences. This will mean the little guys in the MACs, CUSAs, Mountain Wests, AACs will never get a recruit the P5s want, not that they often do now, but this will put any end to it at all. The NCAA is essentially doing as they are told.
It also means the SEC, BIG and PAC will eventually "outbid" the ACC/b12 for the best recruits.
While this will probably help Mizzou as much as anyone in recruiting, I still don't like it.

As it turns out, Alabama's cost of attendance stipends will rank among the leaders nationally
Yet still less than AU...your point?

A big portion of it is travel. They factor geographical center of student population(for both in state vs out of state) then use that location as a distance from the school in the calculation.

Our Engineering, Medical and J school attract a lot of students from around the globe, clearly we aren't "factoring" properly..

I honestly think that they should scrap this whole mockery of a system and just give the boys a piece of the profit. Whatever the football program brings in, just give them a percentage. That is truly the fair way to go about it.

We are in the same boat with Foley's stance that "We are Florida. We don't need to stoop to this type of stuff."
Welp, that's what's kept us from having waterfalls, MMA rings and hookers in our football facilities.

You are acting like they really really wanted to do this. They didn't want to pay out anything. Lawsuits forced them to create this solution to placate the courts.
And honestly the courts aren't done. There are some cases coming down the pipeline that could undo college football. Judge Wilken was still kinda sympathetic to the goal of college sports, and even though legally Title 9 isn't an excuse she saw the practicality of not pushing through extreme measures that would kill women's sports.
The next judge might not be so nice. The next judge might say college football needs an outright free agency. Then this whole cost of attendance thing will be a footnote in history.

We have a budget loss projected for this year of 5.7 million. MOST of that was the need to upgrade the telecommunications infrastructure for the SEC network.
The budget did not include revenues from the SEC Network,but that will offset the cost. After that we can easily pay the stipend.
My guess of the cost of the stipends is probable around 1.5 million for ALL sports.
