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.

Well, there you fricking go. As I said, enough will never be enough regardless. People always have their hand out wanting more.

The article posted earlier in the thread also was about Arkansas, is this an Arkansas thing where they've found loopholes to pay players, or is this just a coincidence?
