Nice take.
This system is so messed up it is to late to fix it.
Just start paying the athletes. JMO.
easier said than done. the majority of atheletic programs lose money and even a good % of football programs lose money. paying players would ensure the top-10 programs stay that way and basically would torpedo the small schools. fact remains that only a small % of players "earn" for the university more than the scholorship, but those that do obviously earn many multiples. hard to just pay those though.
