How our people didn't figure out a way to create a higher payment to athletes is crazy. How a podunk, garbage, state school like L'ville can pay their athletes nearly 2/3 more than we do shows a massive level incompetence.
That's the first I've seen those figures. I'm shocked by the differences between schools, and can't seem to draw a good reason why there are such stark differences. Plus, places with assumed higher cost-of-living (i.e. Boston) are towards the bottom of the list.
Boston College: $1,250, plus a travel allowance based on hometown, divided into once-a-semester payments.
Clemson: $3,906 in 10 installments.
Duke: Amounts range from $2,800 to $3,500 and are calculated individually, with the most significant difference being a travel component based distance from campus. Once-a-semester disbursements.
Florida State: $4,500 for in-state residents, $6,000 out-of-state. The school has yet to determine the frequency of disbursements.
Georgia Tech: $2,000 divided into once-a-semester payments.
Louisville: $5,364 with multiple disbursements each semester.
Miami: The athletic department declined to reveal its allowance. Miami’s website estimates a 2015-16 undergraduate’s personal expenses at $2,100, plus average travel costs of $680. The NCAA legislation does not obligate schools to provide athletes the full cost of attendance but prohibits schools from exceeding that amount.
North Carolina: “Every student’s number is different based on a variety of factors,” spokesman Steve Kirschner said, “financial need, health insurance, in-state vs. out-of-state and whether they live on-campus or if they are off-campus) We are still determining our numbers and are not definite when we will have them finalized.” The university’s website estimates $1,448 in personal expenses for each undergraduate, plus $862 in travel for in-state residents, $1,820 for out-of-state.
North Carolina State: $2,706, split into once-a-semester payments.
Notre Dame: The average is $1,950, with amounts varying based on family residence. Once-a-semester disbursements.
Pittsburgh: $3,296 for undergraduates, $5,922 for graduates, divided into twice-a-semester payments.
Syracuse: The athletic department did not share its allowance. The university’s website estimates annual personal expenses of $990, plus $642 for transportation.
Virginia: $3,180 for in-state undergraduates, $3,600-$4,600 for out-of-state undergraduates, depending on distance from campus. Graduate student-athletes receive approximately $3,000 more. Monthly disbursements.
Virginia Tech: $3,280 in-state, $3,620 out-of-state. Paid twice a semester for on-campus students, three times a semester for off-campus.
Wake Forest: $3,062 divided into monthly payments.
