>> TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Florida universities are searching for ways to pump more money into sports ahead of a proposed landmark NCAA settlement that would open the door for schools to directly pay athletes - and using state dollars could be on the table.

Florida has long held a bright line against putting tax dollars into college athletics. But that could change soon, as schools here and across the country grapple with revolutionary changes coming to the NCAA....<<

It's an arms race to pay 17 and 18 year olds millions of dollars to play on their team. Florida is trying to get ahead of Bama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas etc. I can not imagine the 20 million dollar a year payroll tax being passed on to the students. Even harder to imagine is a newly minted 18 year old millionaire making a 9:30 intro to composition followed by a finite math class.
