Read the article.
"First"?
Texas AD making an informed decision to budget money to address the ruling.
Media turns it in to : Texas is first to pay players......
Lolz

Because what are they technically doing? Paying the players. Giving them $5,000 of free money to do whatever they want with and $5,000 to pay for the rest of their educational expenses. It's not exactly paying them a salary, but it is paying the players for the use of their likeness.

Steve Patterson was asked what it would cost? He gave an "estimate" IF they university, along with all other NCAA DI universities, were to pay players. 

 

$5K for Cost of Living

$5K to use their name/image

 

Not going to happen any time soon. Legally, that is.

A couple of takes from the article.
- I don't see how most universities will be able to afford to pay the athletes. Maybe the football team but all of the other non revenue sports will kill the athletic budgets of smaller schools. This will be the end of college sports as we know it.
- If Texas starts charging to tailgate, it will make an already weak Gameday environment way worse.

      Question: will this have a big effect on Texas City?

      Sooo…. I’m calling this right now!!! Next realignment, expect the coogs to be back and potentially 5a d2, if what i heard from educators is true. LM and Ball are the red head step kids of g county and were the last to get new schools and stadiums(ball and lm new schools are under construction with lm getting new stadium and ball got theirs renovated). Once these projects are completed, everyone will be zoned BACK to where they live. LM middle school is over crowded. I predict Hitchcock won’t be good after realignment because I promise u most of those kids are LM kids. Currently u can pretty much attend any school in the district and get away with it… well not for long.

      #9 vs #10 Ball vs PAM

      By pakronos · Posted

      The advantage I think PAM have is Ball have not played any real defenses. Manvel is a shell of what they use to be and friendswood not so good this year. Those were the top schools they played. The rest  was sterling and Texas City and a hisd school.  if I’m worried about anything is ball have a few play makers. The secondary MUST BE  COME WITH THE BEST GAME. offensively, finally the OC and Morgan is letting him run. 2/11 and 2 picks that killed potential scoring drives won’t cut it. From what I hear, ball qb isn’t that great under pressure. Welp I’ll be tailgating at the ex’s family house on the corner of N and 28th lol
