The Bodda Getta

Emmert is helping push the NCAA in the opposite direction it needs to go. He needs to be removed from office yesterday.

I have said and still say that the measuring stick for athletic scholarships should be "full cost of attendance." This is already the financial aid standard for the rest of us, so why not make it that way for athletes. At Auburn, tuition and fees comes out to just short of $10,000 for one year. However, the full cost of tuition, including such things as books, room and board ( both of which we already give), transportation and personal expenses comes out to another $16,000/year. If I can receive financial aid up to the full amount, why can't they?

Exactly!
