Glad they are doing the right thing here, but the kid shouldn't have to be living on the street in order to receive assistance. Come on!

The NCAA is the most un-American institution ever.

Also there is no way we could ever keep up with Alabama if it was all out in the open. If they let school pay what ever they want to who they want no way we keep up with the big boys and if they set a limit on what they could spend the big boys would find another way to cheat.
It's foolish to pay college atheletes. If they are not happy with what they get, then they should find something else to do.
