JayPa ran the numbers based on the NCAA-mandated limits on participation hours for athletes and reached this conclusion...
"At those rates, the student-athlete on full scholarship to Penn State will earn $56.25 per hour if he is an in-state student and $83.25 per hour if he is an out-of-state student."
Paterno also detailed other potential benefits not included in these calculations.

The entire column is a terrific read. Enjoy.
