The article said both.

I don't understand why they can't fund it all with the revenue they make.

For the NCAA to dictate this in such a fashion creates a huge problem for UConn.

UConn is at a $40m deficit already. This adds to it. A lot. While tuition is rising.

If athletes are making $30m per year minimum on average (the distribution can be different, apparently), then that can only mean a huge subsidy from the pocket of average students to athletes.

They've done gone messed the whole thing up.

Go pro, use the revenues you make, don't give any to the university. Make it clean. This arbitrary minimum is destructive and for the birds.

Especially now when they are slashing and burning all over academia. Imagine West Virginia students hearing this news. They shut down Computer Science, English and Mathematics over there. Now they're going to pony up more $$ for sports? Absurd. Cutting the football coach's salary isn't going to make up for this.
