ACC: $250,312 (per player)
Big 12: $346,323
Big ten: $412,099
Pac-12: $274,454
SEC: $392,534

(The authors of the study are Ramogi Huma, executive director or the National College Players Association, and Ellen J. Staurowsky, professor at Drexel University.)

Just want to point out that neither of those authors are economists. Huma is the guy who organized the UCLA players and has a masters degree in public health. Staurowsky is a real professor, but most of her work has been in legal journals. She has an EdD from Temple in "Sports Management" and her faculty bio begins by saying she is "an expert on social justice issues in sport."

So where is the credibility in this thing?
