85 football scholarships= $3.1 million. 13 basketball scholarships= $468,000 (pretty inexpensive) Such a system would definitely help level the playing field for all schools. We might see players actually choose schools they truly like rather than sign with the highest bidder. I really think this would hep the Gators but with caveats. I’m not naive and fully realize the TA&M’s, Bama’s, UGA’s and Ohio St’s would pass money under the table but at least if they’re caught they could be penalized. A pipe dream I know.
