i haven't paid much attention to this yet but on the surface this rule really seems to hurt A&M. We would be limited to paying player stipends that are significantly less than every major program in our region.
Below are what I think are the current stipend limits under the new/proposed rule.
Auburn $5,586
Miss. St. $5,126
Texas Tech $5,100
TCU $4,700
OU $4,614
OSU $4,560
Ole Miss $4,500
Texas $4,310
Arkansas $4,002
Baylor $3,882
LSU $3,096
Alabama $2,892
A&M $2,706
It doesn't look great for Alabama either so Saban might kill it or force a revision for us.
