Virginia Tech green lights financial rewards for academic progress

From the Roanoke Times: Virginia Tech is planning to financially reward athletes for their academic progress starting this fall, according to a news release issued by the school on Thursday.

The decision comes in the wake of the Supreme Court upholding a federal ruling last June in the Alston v. NCAA case that dealt with restrictions on compensation for student athletes.

The NCAA changed its rules two months later to allow payments of up to $5,980 per year for their academic performance.
