NEW YORK (AP) ? The new playoff system means big money to the schools in major college football, as much as a half billion dollars per year just in television rights alone.
That has Texas coach Mack Brown ? among others ? wondering if some of that windfall ought to be heading the players way.
Soon after the new playoff format was approved by university presidents Tuesday in Washington, Brown tweeted: "In my opinion, with the amount of money the playoff will generate, I hope we can revisit the student-athlete stipend."
Even before the playoff plan had a presidential seal of approval, a group of former and current athletes was pushing for some of the newfound wealth to be spent on player safety and health.
