I found it interesting and was not aware Paterno felt that way.

JoePa always felt the players should have some cash for food, dates, social life outside of football.

Sure, but Schiano is speaking in the context of NIL.

I think almost every major CF coach felt this way - no big revelation.

Paterno was one of the primary movers behind CFB players being paid a "living stipend" (i.e., payment beyond tuition room and board) - that is a form of paying the players while allowing them to keep their amateur status. Paterno was not in favor of competitive bidding for the players services (i.e., professionalism of amateur NCAA football).

yes, joe said many times they should a little pocket money for going out and buying a pizza on a date. that's miles away from what nil is becoming.
