SEC athletes can now receive up to $6,000 in benefits such as computer equipment and internships
quote:
In addition to offering internships, postgraduate scholarships and the like to lure athletes to campus, schools will also be able to provide electronic equipment, such as computers. The lengths to which these benefits can be applied have not yet been worked out. For example, is there a scenario in which a car could be given to an athlete who lives a certain distance from campus or has a class in a certain area of town?
quote:
The surprise is not that the SEC is the first conference to use Alston for its benefit; rather, it's the fallout that comes from the announcement. Additional educational benefits give the nation's most powerful conference, at least for now, a recruiting advantage. That's at least the way it will be portrayed by other coaches and administrators.

It's going to separate the poor from the rich.

The idea that NIL was going to “even the playing field” is asinine.
It’s just going to run smaller schools out, bringing about changes to the sport that we probably don’t want to see.

For now, SEC schools who give Alston benefits can promise internships that involve overseas travel and even transportation if a car is deemed an educational benefit. It's reasonable to expect all 14 SEC programs will provide football and basketball athletes the full amount of the benefit.
