| Re: Stipend for college athletes
My football scholarship covered tuition, room and board (if you lived off campus u got whatever the dorm rate was), books and a meal plan (if you didnt want a meal plan you got the money). Plus I also received the max Pell Grant on top off my scholarship. Plus on top of all that the NCAA has a fund set up which allows athletes to get $500 for their freshman year and $250 the other years in order to buy clothes.
So in my opinion athletes do NOT need to be paid or receive a stipend, if they cant make the above work then they have issues.
