So Steve Spurrier is an idiot and doesn't understand how college athletics works? I'm not an expert, that's for sure, but if they already get stipends, why would Spurrier support stipends if they already exist? Is he going senile?
Spurrier is wanting an additional $2,000 for each player at the beginning of the semester that is attached to their scholarship and travel expenses paid for families each game.

Totally amazed how misinformed folks are on the subject of how stipends work.Had a friend who's son played FB@ Arkansas. Kid got $1,200 per month PLUS a 4k Pell Grant (which the majority of FBS signees qualify for) lived like a freakin king(in college terms). If yer adding it up it almost 18k (tax free) a year. It still doesn't include books and tuition.
It does kinda suck for Freshman who have to live in school housing and meal plan and don't get a direct cash
payment.More than likely, this is the group Spurrier is pointing towards.
