Power 5 schools vote to pay their players

actual cost of attendance.

They are already paying their room and board. What else is there?

The idea that these players don't get enough funds to live is laughable. Maybe at the smaller schools but definitely not at the power 5 conference schools

Awful

Here's to the pipe dream that the amount of $$ sent home to help family >>> amount of $$ used to buy video games, tats and rims.

I don't think the schools should pay them, but let the kids market off their name. If Nike or Under Armour wants to sign them, let them.

I am not for or against honestly but if a coach of these kids can make millions then the kids should be getting fair value.

Is that just a scholarship?

Some of these kids have nothing; their families have nothing. Yeah, there are many, maybe even most, whose families are in good shape, or good enough shape, but there are plenty who have nothing. Even Dabo's mom had to live with him in his dorm room because they had nothing. Why begrudge them a few thousand dollars?

It's all about money now and these football programs claim to be separate private entities so the players may as well be paid. They are making the school money, right?
