On the Temple board, that Delgreco Wilson dude posted this about what players are being offered:

"Here's what some schools are doing...

Pell Grant $5,775
Image/likeness $5,000
Cost of Living stipend $5,000
Off-Campus Rent payments $14,000 (actual cost of rent $6,000)... difference $8,000"

So, $23k/year in player compensation. This also does not include "meal money" which players get on the road. Doesn't include all the gear the kids get. Essentially, the $10k of likeness payments and Stipend are really the only "new" ways to compensate players.

I can really see the "image/likeness" payment from the O'Bannon case being a real wildcard moving forward. What was Jameis Winston's "real" value in that department this year? $250k? more?
