Seems to me like everyone criticizing TH insinuates that he is referring to how we won't pay as much. To me, it looks more like he's saying we probably won't have the food trucks they have at Oklahoma and Alabama. I think BYU will be very, very competitive with the stipends, and considering how much less a BYU education costs in general (tuition, cost of living, etc.), I don't see stipends having much sway. Some of the extra stuff--maybe...but that's no different than now. We don't compete with Oregon and the stuff Nike provides, either.
I guess it's just me, but I simply don't see any of his comments as being as big of a deal as lots of CBers want to make them.
