OT: Texas to pay athletes $10,000 each they claim with new rules - GoApps70 - 10-22-2014 03:50 PM
"The University of Texas will spend nearly $6 million a year to comply with a string of recent legal rulings requiring colleges to be more generous to their scholarship athletes.
That won’t break the bank, Athletic Director Steve Patterson said Tuesday at a forum on the fast-changing business of college sports. But even rich programs like UT’s will be forced to make tough choices in the future if momentum in the courts continues to push colleges to treat their players like employees or semi-pros, he said."

This probably will not affect the G5 much since hard to compete with them
anyway. Most could not spend six million a year on paying athletes. Here
is a different article.

6 million might be pocket change for UT, but not for a lot of P5s who would probably want stipends capped a good bit lower than $10k a year.

Just do not see the G5's matching that figure or even close.
