100 in 1982 is about 230 today....

so 1600/month for Dickerson. Not a bad ROI I'd say

[NickSMU17]

Give it 18 months and it will be 100- 1000

Pretty good list of ex-players

if quantitative easing continues at the current pace, that may be a conservative estimate...

but before this thread gets off track:

This is a HUGE find, Diamond Tom.

Diamond Tom is an anonymous poster making huge claims with an unsubstantiated document. If one believes that the document is authentic, then one must also remember that even he does not know who it was written by.

As an anonymous poster, Diamond Tom is protected from any reprisal. He has provided a document that is equally anonymous, making tremendous accusations against individuals that are very public. This is not journalism, but irresponsibility driven by anonymity.

That may just be one man's payment schedule and the same players may have also received payments from others. I know players from over 15 years earlier who were paid more per month than that. But then again I do not think there was nearly the volume of players being paid at that time.

It is obviously a fake as mrydel and ponyte's names are not on it!

Who claimed it was journalism?

[Stallion]

before offering the document into evidence it needs to be authenticated-here's a sample of Ron Meyer's handwriting I was able to find. Do we have any handwriting experts?

I'm not an expert but check out the similiarity in the R in Ron Meyer and the R in "Carter R."

[diamond_tom]

I notice that he Prints the First letter in many names and then writes the remainder of the names in cursive.

These kids were under paid as far as I'm concerned.
$5000 grand a month seems like pay to me.
$750 a month would not even cover food for one football player.

My guess is they didn't have to pay for many meals.

The majority of posters here are not anonymous. We know each other.
I have no doubt in my mind that it is authentic.

25 years ago $750 went a lot farther than it does today.

[deleted], that's only half my rent.
