Think about a student who gets a free ride to college for playing violin in the orchestra. Nobody's saying we should pay them. College athletes already get tuition, room, and board. That's a huge paycheck in itself. Why should they get cash on top of that?

Look, the deal is you go to college to get an education, and playing sports is part of that student experience. A scholarship already covers your schooling, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars. That's the payment. Adding cash would turn them into professionals and mess up the whole point of college sports.
