Final 4 - NCAA Tourny is HUGE business.... I think yearly its worth more then MLB playoffs, and NHL Playoffs.
I do not think the networks could take the hit. I am sure they have something written in their contracts.
One reason I think College Players should get some kind of stypand is the amount of money the Universiies and those commercial interests are making. The players should have enough money to live comfortably, be able to grab a pizza, etc.... a few grand a month would not be bad.

Amen to that. I know the argument that they are getting a free education is out there but at the same time these guys are bringing in millions for their schools. I would not have a problem with paid on a progressive scale. Say $400 for freshman, $600 for sophomores, etc. If it was uniform for each class and school I don't see a problem with it.
