Basketball ends well before finals. There were no basketball games during finals week at Cal. What you guys are proposing is to intrude upon finals to get some sort of playoffs.
Granted a scholarship at a private university would be worth more, however, at a state school ... much much less. The car is irrelevant. You just count tuition, housing, food, and books.
Given it is 4 or more traditionally 5 years with a red-shirt, that comes to an athlete being payed 20k a year from U of M. Football is a rough sport, injuries abound, and I think the compensation is too little if you expect them to go a 17 game season.
