Never let it be said that the University of Florida isn't committed to student-athlete welfare.
As schools announce they will provide the newly NCAA-permitted cost of attendance stipends to their student-athletes, we're going to get interesting stories of how those schools are finding coins under couch cushions — or in state legislatures — to pay athletes more for their work.
Colorado State's means of doing so may be the most ingenious so far: The school's just passing the money Florida will pay it as part of Jim McElwain's much-ballyhooed $7 million buyout on to its players, reports Matt Stephens of Fort Collins paper The Coloradoan.
