MWC teams are beginning to announce what they will pay athletes on top of the full ride scholarships they are offered in order to cover the full cost of attending the university. New Mexico Just announced that they will pay $2,700 stipends starting with athletes in Football, Men's and Women's Basketball and Volleyball on top of the normal full ride scholarship. Eventually they will offer to all sports at about an additional $1 million a year in new costs. All MWC teams have announced they will offer full cost stipends to the athletes,
Wyoming has received an additional $4 million from the state budget (including a match component) to up their athletic budget to also offer this and is estimated to offer about $3,500 in additional cash to each athlete.
I Read that Nprth Dakota State also wants to offer full cost of attendance stipends to their athletes.
Any Big Sky schools looking at doing this to get an advantage during recruiting?
here is a san Diego Newspaper article on the estimates from the MWC and the PAC for each school
