NCAA president Mark Emmert decided to pay all athletes a $2000 allowance. Is this really a smart decision? The NCAA division I Board of Directors believes scholarship limits should be expanded. Many players, fans, and Americans disagree and argue about Emmert’s decision and what the NCAA division I Board of Directors has to say about this. Multiple complaints throughout America were made about the additional $2000 toward the full cost of attendance of athletes. Some critics agree that $2000 is not nearly enough to pay for books, tuition, room, fees, etc... The average money a college athlete pays for his/hers college costs is roughly $3000 to $4000. Since October of 2011, more and more people have been getting upset on this decision. Some schools have expressed opposition because they say it violates the NCAA’s philosophy on amateur sports. So is the $2000 stipend good or bad? Well from the facts in this post, it is bad.
