Court stops payments to college athletes....

oops,
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2015/07/31/us-court-puts-ncaa-injunction-on-hold/?intcmp=hplnws
A U.S. appeals court put on hold Friday a ruling that ordered the National Collegiate Athletic Association to permit universities to compensate student athletes as much as $5,000 a year, Reuters reported.
The order was issued Friday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It places a lower court injunction on hold until the 9th Circuit issues its opinion in the case, according to the news agency.
Allowing student athletes to received a limited share of revenue has stirred controversy in the college sports world and among politicians.
President Obama said in March that compensation for college athletes would "ruin the sense of college sports" and create "bidding wars."

I think it's a good thing, until they figure a way to level the playing field. Allowing some schools to give more is just asking for trouble.

It would open the door wide open for the schools that has the most money to cheat the books. And it would turn into a bidding war between the richest schools. ND would about be a NC school every year bc of the money they could and would spend in a bidding war for the very best players. Most college FB players come from poor families, and the schools that pays the most gets the best.Two hundred dollars difference in most cases would pull a kid from a school he grew up pulling for.

Actually, I've always approved of a minimal stipend to offset the amount a part time job would pay.
