I don't care if the NCAA Tournament nets one trillion dollars in total revenue for schools, networks and advertisers, you can't pay student-athletes to play the game. You always hear this arguement during football's bowl season. Some student-athletes don't take advantage of their "free rides" either by not going to class or leaving early and not getting a diploma, but that's not my fault. If a student-athlete decides they don't want to go to class and learn about Emily Dickinson and philosophy proofs, then that's the student-athlete's decision. How would the NCAA be able to track all of this stuff?

Giving college athletes a stipend of up to $5,000 a year above their scholarships might not eliminate the next long line of players at the tattoo parlor willing to barter merchandise for body ink. But it would make the line shorter.
WASHINGTON - The average fair market value of top-tier college football and men's basketball players is over $100,000 each, and the athletes are entitled to at least a portion of that, a new report from an advocacy group argues.

Despite numerous examples of prohibited perks leading to a downfall, the cycle continues, with new reports surfacing on a regular basis. No, not quarterbacks and point guards in college dorms, but politicians and CEOs in halls of power.
Nearly 60% of all community colleges field athletic teams with over 72,000 students participating in these sports. That represents approximately 11% of all community college male students (5% of female students). Additionally, community colleges invest nearly $50 million dollars annually in financial aid to student athletes. With such a strong presence on community college campuses, accurate profiles of student athletes and an understanding of how they perceive themselves is crucial. Subsequently, a 22-item survey was developed to profile student athletes in the most common community college sports, and to identify how these student athletes identity themselves and the role of sports in their lives.
