The real question isn't whether athletes deserve money—it's what college is for. Once you turn a scholarship into a salary, you've turned a student into an employee. That changes the entire melody of campus life. The scholarship is already the compensation: tuition, room, board, a degree worth more than most rookie contracts. And think about the harmony—only football and basketball bring in cash. Paying athletes means a few stars get paid while the swimmer and the fencer get nothing. That's a broken chord. College sports should stay in tune with education, not the market.
