Duke, NC State and UNC's AD discuss the new changes on a panel.
They don't seem too happy.
One shocking thing to consider: if schools begin to pay a stipend, what happens to Pell Grants? Those grants are there to help poor kids pick up extra costs beyond tuition/room & board. It may be that the players lose their grants if the school pays them stipends.
This effectively means that not only will schools pay the stipend per student but they lose the pell grant (i.e. that gov't money actually is paid to the university).
