"They are student-athletes. They are not our employees, they don't work for us," Mark Emmert, NCAA President and Liar.



No, Mr. Emmert they only provide the service that pays for your lame job (estimated salary of $1MM). The only thing more ridiculous than a statement like this is when someone like Nick Saban calls an agent a pimp while making $5MM a year on the backs of his players.



So no $2,000 stipend on the horizon for athletes.

Dude, tell me how BYU manages to pay it's women's soccer players, gymnasts and all other sports a $2k stipend, and then run a balanced budget? Tell me how Weber State does it. Or how pretty much every school does it minus a small handful??? And tell me why you continue to devalue the price of a scholarship and room and board many athletes get, which is comparable to what other elite in their field students get? I do not see mathletes out whining for a $2k stipend. Seriously, run the numbers and your goal basically kills the goose.

Not a BYU topic, it's just another beating of a dead horse.
