Seen the cost of a 4 year ride lately? That's more than "jack".

And I say that as someone who thinks they ought to blow up the whole scholarship model & simply pay the players (for football & probably basketball) out of the marketing budget and forego the whole going to class thing for a redesigned Division I.

But that doesn't discount that every player currently on a ride is getting paid to play.
