How much is the education they are receiving worth? It’s not like they are taxed on that money and I don’t know if either of my kids will get anything like that. Hopefully some baseball money but even that is usually smallish as there are twice as many kids on the team as scholarships (so they divide them up).
I am not sure I care that much about giving them $150 week stipend, but then you have to pay all athletes right? Some Big-Ten school with a team in every conceivable sport suddenly has a lot of kids to pay. The big Ohio State/Texas type revenue schools can handle it, but you must have FOOTBALL money to be able to afford this. Men’s basketball is the next best thing and it’s dwarfed by football revenue and can’t cover these costs.
