T.O.’s time in Congress may pay off for Nebraska’s student athletes.
According to Omaha World Herald, T.O. is lobbying the Big 12 Conference for more money for scholarship athletes to meet the true “cost of attendance” of going to school beyond tuition, books, room and board.
“When you see facilities expenditures rise 100-fold and coaching salaries increase tremendously,” Osborne said, “it’s my feeling that we should take a large portion of that NCAA TV contract and move toward the cost of attendance, which would be about $2,500 per student more.”
