I'm not sure how you fund a lifetime scholarship. Perhaps, it's similar than I am thinking.
I like these ideas, but #3&4 sound financially difficult, maybe prohibitively so, for Wake Forest. You're essentially increasing scholarship costs by 25% in the "mandatory redshirt" model, and adding however much under the misc expenses plan. Could we do that?
With an NCAA educational trust. I pitched a similar idea last time we had this discussion. Take a large percentage of the TV revenue and devote it to paying for undergraduate education beyond the 4 years of eligibility and graduate education at any NCAA institution. I'd add that I'd like to see such a trust include undergraduate education for the children of student-athletes as well.
I could see this becoming a giant liability in the future that couldn't be funded. Especially considering skyrocketing education costs.
More financial burdens for Wake athletics means more ammo for Ph to bitch about our sports failures.
