Cost of Attendance Stipend

Advertisement
With the out of state stipend being so high that is going to hurt Miami and other Florida schools in general. Kids are going to go out of state to collect an extra $1000. Miami needs to make the in state stipend higher than oos. I know it's higher for a reason but this is just more beneficial to Miami where we have talent that we want to keep home.
 
Stippens are fine but there should be a clause in them stating if they received the money and get in trouble with the law should lose the money for future years and repay what they received
 
That's pretty funny and a blatant attempt to pay kids to attend your school. Doesn't Alabama have one of the lowest cost of living states in the US? funny that Auburn and Bama are the two highest cost of tuition schools in the SEC.

That is the discussion I wanted to get into. I am on the west coast and thought the Pac 12 would be interesting with the disparity in costs of living between, say, Stanford and Oregon State. I was really interested to learn that Alabama, Auburn, and Tennessee lead the way in the SEC. How is this really calculated? And then, back to the original question, what is Miami's stipend?

Yes Sir the do in fact. Alabama is the 8th cheapest state to live in according to Golan's Moving and Storage reports which was featured in USA Today Article.

10 least expensive states to live in the U.S.

So it is amazing how the SEC can flat out lie about cost of attendance figures they way they do.

They say they based it on the average OOS student travelling 8 hours. At .57 cents a mile reimbursement for 2 trips home that's how they figured those numbers. Well most jobs and the government doesn't reimburse you for "going to and from work." That's what this would be. They chose to attend that school so driving there would be going to and from work would it not? Also you can have 3 round trip flights home for the cost of the "driving."

It's only going to get worse from here. Next they'll will bump it by 10% a year and call it inflation costs. This is where the haves and have nots will really come into focus. They need to put caps on things like back office support staff and cost of tuition stipends. This is going to be a joke. I hope the NCAA loses their tax free standing and the schools have to start paying taxes. Payroll, workers comp, and all that.
 
While I don't disagree with the idea of stipends in general, if the NCAA doesn't put some controls on it you're going to wind up with essentially bidding wars between schools for players. IMO that would pretty much kill college football (at least for me) as certain teams would always get the best players even to a greater degree than happens now. I'd prefer to see either a cap or preferably a standard dollar amount that would allow the kids to be able to comfortably eat out on weekends and be able to travel home on holidays. A potentially slippery slope. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

It's not like those duffle bags were empty, Bama's recruits aren't going to be hurting for cash.
 
Plain an simple college football recruiting from here on out is;

I played against lonnie pryor when he was at Okeechobee. His family was very poor and a couple of friends i know from there said he rode a bike to summer workouts. So my sophomore year of college im in Tally visiting my buddies and we see lonnie at the gas station. Not gonna say what he or we were getting but you can infer. We go outside and get in my friends murk and he hops in his 2009 jacked up chevy. Had to have been a 20000 dollar truck. Now how did he get that? Hmmmm
