Scholarship shortages? Is that how we are couching the pay for play trend?

Cost of attendance includes expenses beyond tuition, room and board, books and fees.
Each member of the class will receive approximately $6,000, said Steve Berman, lead attorney in the case.
"This is a historic settlement for student-athletes and there is more to come as the second part of the case seeks injunctive relief that will force the NCAA to pay student-athletes a fair share," Berman told AP in a text message Friday night.
The NCAA said in its statement that the agreement maintains cost of attendance as "an appropriate dividing line between collegiate and professional sports." The statement also said the NCAA and conferences "only settled this case because the terms are consistent with Division I financial aid rules."[quote][/quote]

What a joke this whole charade is.
