Cost of Attendance is far from settled

The Cost of Attendance question is far from settled even for P5 schools. I know we had a thread recenty debating various aspects of it and how it will fall out amongst G5 schools but the answer is not even close to being settled orP5 schools. I think there is going to be much debate on this topic across the board before the dust settles. Some had stated that the differences could be used as recruiting tools between P5 and G5. Well that is not the only way it could be used.

See article about SEC schools regarding COA.

Could get very interesting for sure. Anybody hearing anything from the G5 AD's? I would think they have to move in a similar direction.

ULL and Ark St. have stated they will pay it for football, basketball, and baseball.

Something has to give.

I'm sure Title IX will come into play here as well which would really jump up the cost for everyone.

World's largest lawsuit coming down the pike when this is not done for all, especially title IX, sports. Grab the popcorn, this will get interesting.

There is no way most SEC schools are going to agree let an Auburn pay $6,000 and many others like UGA pay $1,500. That's a huge recruiting advantage and this is among peers who all have deep pockets and can afford whatever number is used and more. I still don't know how the formula works because there isn't much difference in cost of living between Auburn, AL and Athens, GA.
