Robert Nkemdiche is doing what colleges have been doing for years. Schools require a player to meet certain requirements to attend, why can't a player put requirements on that school? Fair is Fair. If you want me bad enough, if what I am asking is not breaking any rules, and you meet my minimum requirements, I will suit up and earn your University millions of dollars that I will never ever see. I look forward to the next faze of recruiting where a LEGAL monetary stipend is available. Fact, did you know that a Stanford education is worth $58,000 a year? Fact, did you know a FAMU education is worth $16,000 a year. Fact, did you know that Famu bought a $25million dollar scoreboard for the football stadium and $40million for the Al Lawson Basketball Center? My point is, whats the difference between a Stanford and a FAMU education? Stanford students are mostly well off, FAMU students need funding help, give these kids some of that difference money who need it because clearly these two Universities in my example can afford it.

If we pay these athletes, should they not have to pay their own tuition, books, room and board? Today, at the. "U", the tuition alone runs $39K per year. Add books, room &board and you are approaching clise to $85K per year. After five years, that's a $400K investment. That's what the university charges the athletic department. Let's give the athlete a $1,000 a month as the stipend. Sounds fair to me.
Robert Nkemdiche is, in my opinion
