These players are NEVER going to get paid at the college level. Sure, the football program is bringing in big bucks for the Athletic Dept, but that's the ONLY sport. Most colleges have 8 other sports that don't bring in any money, but they still travel, get scholarships, lodging, food, books, etc. And with Title IX, you'd have to pay the women as well. There's so many negatives because you'd have to pay ALL the athletes in every sport.
I say give the players a choice: 1) Take the scholarship and play with no money, or 2) Take payments, but pay for school and taxes.
