Do you happen to know who all the Graduate Asssistants are? How many can one school have? Do they receive any type of pay?

[Rhino]

Each school is allowed two per year. I believe there's a time limit on their tenure too.

Our offensive GA is David White (http://newsok.com/article/3108884/).
Out defensive GA is Zac Spavital.

No cash pay, only grad school tuition coverage.
