New American Frontier - Weekend Links

Changes continue to happen across the landscape of college athletics.  Of course, football money is the driver of it all.  Thus the separation from the "Power 5" and "Group of 5" conference in the top division of NCAA football.

Earlier this month, the NCAA approved paying full cost of attendance for college athletes.  In a nutshell, the P5 conferences will pay the full cost of attendance to student-athletes while the stipend is optional for G5 conferences.

The AAC has previously states they will mimic all autonomous legislation the P5 enact.  While the Conference hasn't mandated the move, so far UConn and Houston have stated they will pay full cost of attendance:
