(10/28/11 4:10am)
The NCAA's executive committee voted Thursday to allow universities to provide up to $2,000 to student-athletes in the form of a cost of living stipend increase, and USC President Harris Pastides, the Southeastern Conference's representative on the 18-member executive committee, quickly said USC would give its athletes more. Schools can also now offer scholarships for multiple years instead of the traditional one-year scholarship, according to the changes passed.
