I will take the minority view and say I see nothing wrong with a small stipend of say not to exceed $25.00 a week, given the amount of money some of these Universities are making off these kids. Some kids don't have enough money to buy a pizza, or do laundry. The NCAA rules are way too restrictive. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

I'm sure there are student athletes who could use this, but they aren't Duquesne basketball players. I'm not sure how much is safe to say but I can assure you they get plenty, where stipends are concerned. (NT) -- UncivilDKizzle, Tuesday, September 21, 07:25:04am
opening pandora's box. $25 becomes $100 becomes $500, meanwhile the "students" tuition goes up to pay for these stipends. Then som booster takes it upon himself to "help out", and the programs gets killed. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, September 21, 09:10:41am
I believe there are stipends for road trips. I think one of the things that got Satalin canned (along with his record) was his meathead decision to withhold money from the players because they played poorly on the road. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, September 21, 09:56:00am
