Why the bump?

I agree with everything besides the $50k loan. This will get a lot of kids in trouble
That and the stipend is probably the only things I couldn't totally get behind.
He's also mentioned recently schools having a stipend for families to be able to travel to see their kids play. Considering it's something that regularly gets brought up in NCAA investigations, anything that eliminates another one of their dumbass rules works for me.

Because I want the discussion to continue.

As I said earlier, I just think these extra benefits will be very bad for non-revenue sports. Schools like LSU will be fine, but for some D1 schools that don't turn a huge profit with their ADs, that stipend money is going to add up fast.
That being said, most of the suggestions laid out by Calipari are pretty reasonable.

The kern made me think something had happened to make it more relevant. You had me searching "Calipari" on twitter.

As long as they can't transfer to the coach's new school. Back in the day, it was common for a coach to bring his players along with him and leave the former school in shambles.

Why not? If the player is there for just the coach and not the school, why does it matter where he transfers to?
I agree with just about everything Cal said.
I'm not sure I agree w the $5000k stipend. I think you should just either let them work, or sell their "brand". Hell if JFF wants to spends hours of his time signing stuff, then he should be allowed to be paid for it. Although that is opening up a shady can of worms.

Thats 2 billion dollars across all 400k+ NCAA athletes
Bingo.
I could get on board with paying revenue sports a stipend, but with Title IX, there's no way paying athletes is economically possible anymore. That ship has sailed.
Uh...so the athletes would get a 1/5 of the pie.
College sports generates 11 Billion dollars annually by all estimates.
The NCAA just signed a 10.8 Billion dollar deal for March Madness/TV rights.
So yeah, they could pay these players - no ship has sailed - the ship keeps getting more rich by the day.

This would kill a lot of football programs. That's a lot of players to have to pay and most schools do not make a profit as it is on athletics.

I had to laugh at Calipari's comments bout the NCAA not taking his suggestions. This from a coach whose last 2 college programs had wins vacated & NCAA monies returned because of cheating. Derrick Rose was the national player of the yr, there are only ..what...12-13 players on a roster, and Calipari honestly did not know how Rose was eligble to play? His rep is well earned, and it is not only the NCAA who does not like him; he is intensely disliked by many of his "peers".

I laugh at the fans who bring up vacated wins
One, Camby was given money by an agent. How is it any different with what is going on with JFF getting money for autographs and half of Bama FB players playing Bowl games after mingling with agents?
Second, the NCAA clearing house ruled Rose eligible, not Memphis. So Cal is not going to play Rose if the NCAA clears him not knowing about an ACT test?
LSU fans sure forget Daddy Dale dirty laundry and with Les and football.

Even if schools gets a portion of the endorsements, then I'm cool with it.
Since D1 colleges are on all school deals, the athletes would almost certainly only be able to sign deals with the same company that sponsors the overall school. LSU football player = Nike, Auburn player = UA, etc.

You do know none of this is true, right?

So you're cool with a hypothetical in which Miles goes home to Michigan and takes Fournette, Dupre, and Harris with him?
