Not everyone gets a stipend. And again it doesn't answer the question of why a scholarship athlete should have less of a chance to earn side money than a scholarship student in another discipline. If you are worried about outside jobs and booster interference, how about schools providing part time on campus work for them?
The NCAA set the rule to allow stipends. The fact that not every school can afford to pay this small amount is more proof that schools should not pay athletes. The gap is big enough between programs without allowing payments. Where are the income inequality police when it comes to college athletic departments?

Re: Paying College Athletes
It was, jack ass. But in the Countythey had to wear pasties. I had to break up two fights in 4 years. It was an endurance test. I had my favorite dancers in which I made sure no one touched them, the rest were just nasty whores. Nasty like shitting in a bucket in the dressing room. Lots of fun after closing with the owners and dancers just getting hammered. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.kalm wrote:You should have worked at a female strip club...andy7171 wrote: Yeah, I worked as abouncer with my two roommates at a Towson strip club for 4 years.

Like Andy, I was employed as a DI scholarship athlete in the early 90’s and I’ve employed DI scholarship athletes since.AshevilleApp wrote:If that is the case I'm satisfied. I understood it to be otherwise.kalm wrote:
