No major decisions were made in Wednesday's meeting with 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick because the group is still waiting to see what happens...

 

The group decided to continue to provide a $3,000 stipend for each of 125 players' families to travel to all of the games in the playoff. They are also moving forward with a company to help manage lodging on all of the campuses for the first-round games.

 

I'm guessing they get the family discount, because I know if you buy the school package for bowl games, it is easily that much for just 1 bowl game.

$3000 ain't much, not in this inflationary environment.  Still, something in me doesn't love this wall (apologies to Robt. Frost).  Money for families? Why not completely just bury any notion of amateurism once and for all.  Let's vote for monies for all families, all season, all games? Indeed.

Sorry is I sound so negative.
