Split Thread: Off-Campus Housing Stipends

i believe its a stipended amount 750 or 850 if i recall correctly. Plus now you can get cash for meals too instead of dining plans.

so basically we could legally cheat the NCAA system if we were to artificially inflate the cost of living in columbus (say perhaps by including some of the pricier suburbs in the figures and ignoring some of the low rent burbs). that would increase the amount of left over cash that the players could pocket after meeting rent and whatnot.


i don't want to see us break any rules, but i love bending them to the point of snapping.

The way i understand the system is that players who live off campus have the option of being reimbursed for the amount of money it would cost a typical student to live on campus with a typical meal plan.

So in order to artificially inflate the stipend that athletes typically receive, you'd need to raise the cost of living on campus for all students which would decimate the financial resources of drunken students such as myself who are sorely needed to cheer loudly on Saturday's in the shoe.
