Give me $2000 in 20s, $500 in 10s, $500 in 5s and $1000 in 1s and tell me you'll drop me off on N. Dale Mabry, you know I'm picking USF.

 

Will it be raining that day?

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

Just watched a video of George O'Leary talking about cost of attendance stipend.  He brought up a good point that he doesn't see how non P5 schools will be able to sustain the numbers they are giving out...thinks it will put many schools out of the game altogether ultimately.  FWIW he didn't give an exact amount for UCF's stipend but said its around 5k give or take a hundred.  Just also read that they spent only 226K on recruiting last year, so they will spend much more on stipends than actual recruiting.

I may be wrong but...

Stipends are tied to the school's official cost of attendance.

They can't just bring up an arbitrary value... Or base it off a general budget (pay less for something like recruiting and use the excess for the stipends)

This is to prevent schools from actually hiring players. Because then you will really have issues with most "P5" schools unable to compete with TX or Alabama

Smartest, perhaps most true, thing I've ever heard from GOL.

Depends on what "out of the game altogether" pertains to. Shutting down football? .... or just not being able to pay the athletes the COA, full or partial? The programs that won't be able to do that are probably already out of the game .... Someone needs to get George liquored up some more and have him try to expound on that.

Less than 25 teams run a profit or break even. That's not why schools have football. They tolerate it as a loss leader because it's the way to get the name of the school out there, it's publicity. If it was all p/l, yes, the model is broken and many programs would go under, but it's not seen that way.

So you're agreeing or disagreeing with GOL?

"Out of the game altogether" sounds nothing "stop paying CofA"
