Sankay will petition the NCAA to allow SEC kids, and only SEC kids to get paid and the NCAA will agree (of course)....but the B1G...Delaney will probably offer to help Sankay pay SEC kids and not say a word about the B1G because 'shrug..the NCAA has decided and that's good enough for me (Delaney)'

The way the NCAA seems to normally operate, they are going to be so mad at Tulane when they come across this tweet and somehow leave Ole Miss relatively unscathed. 

In all seriousness, it will be interesting to see if they do come knocking at the door of Ole Miss again, even possibly opening a branch office on their campus. They weren't using those empty cubicles in the athletic dpartment's offices anyway.

Everyone on this forum should be against paying students for playing varsity sports. A possible solution is revoke the scholarship and then pay the player.

Giving out a scholarship while paying a kid to play football is a slap in the face of other paying students.

No cash should be exchanged. I can't even imagine the Title IX implications this issue would bring up.

I don't think anyone would be against an athlete profiting off their name while in school. Self-serving NCAA rules that prohibit such should be changed.

On a side note: I always enjoy reading your post Stephen!

Schools, conferences and a wide range of businesses make money off of the players. Players have shown in court that they are treated more or less like employees in terms of expectations and accountability. Players absolutely deserve to be compensated in real money by the institutions profiting off of their labor.

On the out of state tuition number that keeps coming up in threads - MSRP does not equal actual value to player.
