[NU Sports] Pay to Play

[Michael Vance]

The military is not for everyone. No single job or employer is. And at still doesn't solve the problem of where they get the money while they are in school. I doubt you want the government to loan it to them with a promise of military service to repay. And if left to the private sector, there will be abuses, leading to more regulation and scrutiny by the NCAA. 

I still say base it on the official "cost of attendance" figures that every school publishes. That's what everyone else's financial aid package is based on. If you're going to call it a "full ride" scholarship, then make it so.

Additionally, as an NROTC student we got a couple hundred bucks a months for miscellaneous expenses. I have no trouble with any scholarship student, athletic or otherwise receiving some money, as long as every school in each division pays the same.
