Student-Athlete -- With Benefits?

By Yoni Cohen on Sun Aug 09, 2009 at 11:30:51 PM EST

Is it really legal for the WAC to award a $2,000 postgraduate scholarship to a former student-athlete? I assume that if it where not, the WAC would not annually bestow the Stan Bates Award. But what's to stop Kentucky, for example, from awarding John Wall a $50,000 postgraduate scholarship after he flees for the NBA in the spring? Or UCLA from granting Ed O'Bannon a $100,000 postgraduate scholarship years after his departure from Westwood?

Utah State forward Gary Wilkinson was selected this week as the male winner of the Stan Bates Award, which goes annually to the top male and female student-athlete in the Western Athletic Conference. Selection is based on a student's athletic and academic accomplishments. The prize is a $2,000 postgraduate scholarship. Wilkinson averaged 17.1 points per game last season to help Utah State go 30-5 and reach the NCAA tournament.
