re: LSU will have one of the lowest stipends for athletes in SEC

Us government determines cost of living, they give basic housing allowances to military members based off of this. Now I could see Nashville having a noticeably higher one than br, but no way Tuscaloosa does.

BAH
35487 (bama): $960. per month
70808 (lsu) : $1100 per month

This evaluates property/rent, food and leisure, the whole nine yards.

If every student athlete is on scholarship what could be a reason to pay a higher stipend in Tuscaloosa than BR? As the stipend is for their cost of living lol

Edit: that extra 1500 is a big dollar amount for 18 yr old kids. Some extra shoes/videos games and so on. That 1500 is actually a damn top of the line 60 inch samsung for their dorm room per player... shite I'd even love 1500 to play around with right now.
