Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 2990432, member: 35"] Coco: I would tend to defer to you on many basketball fronts and I am sure there are legal openings to defend the 'stipend' as opposed to 'prize money'. Having said that: If the silver medal and bronze medal teams play games on the same number of days, then the players on both teams would get the same amount of money? If so...that would fit your characterization. But do they get the same amount? If the stipend 'includes' a per diem aspect, does that imply there is an additional amount based on how the team finishes...which would....imo...more than suggest 'prize money' The fact that the NCAA views the payments as within the rules is clearly accurate...but I don't for a minute cede 100% infallibilty to that organization....except maybe in self-serving policies. BTW: in these legal matters my go-to person is Della Street of Perry Mason fame. I will be checking with her to see if I have a 100% chance of winning this case. After all...the only person who wins more than Geno is Perry in the courtroom. [/QUOTE]
