Schools shouldn't be paying coaches millions of dollars, if the players aren't being paid.
I disagree.

Without the money from big sports and title nine the money to pay for sports nobody watches goes away. Those sports go away. Those scholarships go away. These will heavily be minorities probably, not sure. That means less people on scholarship and those sports graduate people unlike basketball or football. So fewer kids go to college free or partially paid. This is the only way some of these people go to school.

- Why? How? Is wrestling not allowed to fund raise for themselves? I didn't realize they weren't allowed to. Can the wrestling programs in the US simply leave the NCAA and join a non-profit like NCWA and get their funding that way? Can wrestling conferences make a deal with FLO and do their own revinew share?

- So?
- Same as above. No one would have a problem if a computer science major was on a scholarship/getting a stipend/on a fellowship from Apple. So, why is it controversial if a football booster wants to pay a stipend to a student that is at college to play football?

- Outside of the profit making sports, the "full ride" is about as common as Bigfoot. Athletes in the non-revinew sports have accepted the norm of the 9.9 scholarships(or less) per team for a while now. Heck, former 2X national wrestling champ, Cole Konrad started his career in college on a "books only" scholarship.

- Do grants still exists?

Season tickets could be written off as donations!?
Are the schools (taxpayers) really paying those salaries OR are boosters supplementing those salaries?Schools shouldn't be paying coaches millions of dollars, if the players aren't being paid.

Capital donations. Most athletic foundations require a capital donation to even buy tickets. Donation levels can also pay into seating, ticket, and parking priority. This is going to make a lot of people very pissed.
Seriously? Interesting.

What's The Advocate like as a paper? Anyone know it?
