[BC] GDC pay

[Mario Hieb, P.E.]

Mike,

My facts are straight; straight from the horses mouth.

Ray Benedict maintains that you are volunteers, but that you get a $100 
"gratuity" (his words.) Perhaps the IRS would consider that "pay."

Is the amount you get paid actually $100? Seems a bit low for a skilled 
professional considering that the NFL gets about $2.5 billion per year for 
broadcast rights.
