Gags has reported on twitter that Burman expects the MWC to approve the $2,000 stipend.

Burman expects the #MW to adopt the $2,000 scholarship addtion, but no #MW vote has been set. #gopokes #mwfb

You'll also notice in that story that APR requirements have been raised from 900 to 930. That will make schools think twice about signing too many players that will bounce early.
