Ya gotta think a little extra spending money in the pocket is something these young athletes consider. Might not be the difference between USF and UF but maybe between us and others in our conference.

I never said they weren't going to pay it eventually, I said there would be a disadvantage if they didn't announce it, and they hadn't up to now.  If they hadn't, it would have been used against them

At this point, the CoA gives no built in advantage to the P5 over those G5's who can afford it ... in some cases, a G5 will have the advantage, ie LSU's average number is $3100, http://www.cbssports.c

...and the bidding war begins.  Interesting that UCF and Uconn have not posted.  Perhaps they were waiting for everyone else to do so before dropping their numbers.

Is Houston poor?  What the hell is up with Memphis?  Where are they getting this money from?

they are hoping to make a big splash and that they get picked up before the cash runs out. One of the poorest states in the nation. How much will they have to pay to get decent talent out of most habitable places? Edited by HR Bull

Joey's write-up said that most of USF's CoA money will be funded via donations. Memphis has FedEx money behind them, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's where that $5K plus is coming from.

As a comparison, it looks like we will be competitive with the SEC as far as COA goes which is nice to know IMO.

COA is based on a formula from the Federal Government for financial aid... and it's actually the same for every student (not just student athletes).

 

Just because Alabama has a crap-ton more money, doesn't mean they get to say their COA is $50,000 for football when it's not that high for a 40-something woman going back to get her degree.

 

At least that part makes the P5/G5 difference irrelevant.

No... it's "financial aid" ... as long as they remain "student athletes" and are not classified as "employees" (see the Northwestern NLRB case)

So you dont think that COA is going to magically go up for certain schools?  Thus increasing stipends?  If it is the same across the board then why are schools paying out different amounts?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
