No don't pay the players...they are college students. Problem is when these things come up NCAA is spineless and NEVER drops the hammer (minus SMU in mid 1980s). Schools know they'll get a slap on the wrist and pay no consequences.

which ones... the ones on TV? Yea, them. And if some booster wants to give a football player a yacht to choose to go to Alabama, let them. You cannot be serious |

How about this? When you "buy" a player with such gifts, what if someone offer them more to not play their best? Ask BC how well that worked.

No problem if you support bribes and criminal behavior, I guess. Is that your point?

I have posted in the past that the power conferences should simply withdraw from the NCAA and pay the players a salary as they are a minor league to the NFL.
If the players also wish to become actual students, they can pay their tuition, room and board from their salaries. If they just choose to play and not be a student, so be it. If they choose to leave after a year or a semester or whatever, their contracts with the school (no NLI needed) would dictate their freedom to do so.
For actual academic institutions, keep the current scholarship situation.
Essentially tier college football to real college football vs. minor league professional football. That's what we have now, we just don't call it that.
