Hovadipo Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 The anti-paying players side. Calling BS on Dakich's numbers there. WAY more than 20 hours a week. That's a full time job and then some. I admittedly don't have a strong stance either way on the matter, but the 20 hours a week argument is shite. ThompsonHoosier, mdn82 and IUsafety 3 Quote
mdn82 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Calling BS on Dakich's numbers there. WAY more than 20 hours a week. That's a full time job and then some. I admittedly don't have a strong stance either way on the matter, but the 20 hours a week argument is shite. It's a multi faceted argument. Some kids hope to get that scholarship to not have student debt. Others just use the name on the front as a platform to market themselves for a year. The latter really isn't the NCAA fault. It is a NBA rule that makes this the best avenue for your top basketball player. I think stipends should have an increase on cost of living since it is truly a 7 day a week job. I would be shocked if the average kid isn't in the gym at least 5 hours per day for 7 days. I do agree with Dakich on the Tyler Hansbrough argument. His name means little outside of UNC. I don't think it is cut and dry as both he and Frank portray. The players if they felt they were wrongly used are open to any avenue they see fit. Did Frank not get a free degree? The average person does not get that. The average person that gets a solid degree has to take unpaid internships to provide better aspects to their resume. Open for discussion lol.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app IUsafety, Hovadipo, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 4 Quote

Yeah the NCAA's "official" number might be 20 hours a week or something but there's a lot of extra time they have to put in too. I don't have a problem with letting players make money from signing autographs, selling shirts, whatever they want to do with their own likeness. If schools started paying players instead of giving scholarships though I think there would be some problems. I think there would be less parity between schools and I doubt that the bench players on teams would be worth enough money to cover their school expenses. In a free market I can't see schools dropping $50k a year on players 11-13 on the bench. Hovadipo 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Dakich just revealed that Andrew got 30k at Michigan. Not sure if this is a one time payment or an annual stipend, but it answers some questions. Interesting tidbit. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

I have friends that play FCS football that get told when applying for their living expense stipend to add a couple hundred to their rent for some spending money.
