First off because of federal regulations EVERY student athlete would be required to have the exact same “pay” if that was stupidly forced through. So not just football players at rich programs, but every student athlete at every university. You really believe that the University of Akron can afford to pay thousands of dollars of cash into the pocket of their backups for their women’s swimming team? Because if not then you are really just going to be excluding more student athletes from free college educations as the universities cut away programs and scholarships.

Scholarships are enough. I was an Ohio State University student (with a 4.0 etcetera coming in) who joined the Honors Program and received a scholarship from Ohio State. My scholarship was only $800 a quarter. A full ride would have been pretty sweet and I would have had to be incredibly spoiled not to be happy with a full ride. And as for the “time commitment” at least when I attended Ohio State plenty of students also worked for the university in part time jobs while attending classes. Pretty sure they also were not blessed with full ride scholarships and still attended and received an education.

“dildo baggins” comment was absolutely asinine. Really? 4 years of college education at a world class university is “worth only a few thousand dollars”? For a guy like “dildo baggins” that might actually be true since no university is capable of planting seeds in such a dull mind like his.
