Here is what I got as a walk on:
-$15 food stipend after every home game
-$36 food stipend per day on days we didn't practice during two-a-days and also on days where we had to practice but school was closed(i.e. Labor Day, Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break)
-$250 per semester clothing allowance. A lot of people would buy an expensive pair of shoes at the mall, get two receipts, give one receipt to compliance then return the shoes and pocket the money.
-Traveling allowance during Thanksgiving/Christmas Break. We got $.50 per mile we lived from campus. I only lived 17 miles away so I only got $17 but a lot of guys got $200 or more, would carpool with others who lived in that area and pocket the difference.
-$36 per day food stipend on bowl game trips. We were in LA for the Rose Bowl for 9 days so 36 x 9 = $324
Scholarship guys got all of the above plus more with their off campus checks.

Full scholarship athletes aren't starving, eating ramen noodles, going around in worn out clothes and shoes. They get enough from the school and parents, and if parents are poor, they get financial aid. They get free books, tuition, fees, housing, health care, fitness training for free. They get plenty.
