per CBS:

In his press conference, while flanked by two of his top players, as David Yankey and Shayne Skov were asked about the cost of attendance stipend and how much $2,000 would mean to them to have during the school year and how hard is it to "get by," especially in such an expensive area such as Palo Alto, Shaw also weighed in.

"If the NCAA does pass this rule, we will comply, but my big comment is we're also giving these guys a $58,000 per year education and unbelievable contacts and summer jobs and great opportunities as well, and it's our job to make sure that these guys take advantage of these opportunities.

"I like to say that our job is to teach these guys how to make a living and not have them make a living in college."

He said after he received a multi-year contract extension worth several million. The emphasis of college football should be about education, ignore the man behind the curtain.
