Big Ten Commissioner John L. Griffith notes football splits into schools with and without athletic aid. A middle camp should aid alumni who help players get jobs. He sees a trend toward like playing like, with pure schools clustering by status and subsidization likely to persist at a controllable level. Football remains a major sport as attendance climbs, while critics should focus on reasonable aid and education balance.
